I wound up going with www.northwestfab.com they had one thing nobody else did: a clockable/adjustable kit. I didn't know how I was going to have to clock mine, so I went with this one (and good thing too, cause I had to try a couple of positions to get the exhaust to fit).
Second to that, I would put the one from http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/doubler.htm
Offroad overstock makes a decent one (pre-welded position)

Whatever you do wind up going with, I would recommend the triple sticks (twinstick'd 205) from northwest.
On a side note, a company has recently begun making triple boots now too.

I'll second NW Fab, not only is it clockable but the clocked positions are bolted in place with no welding required so it can be reconfigured for a different application.

Got a nice tip from offroaddesign where i got mine.
Use a single center mount on the np203 adapter to support the drivetrain against bouncing. The single center mount allows the usual rear double mounts to work and doesnt add stress when the whole drivetrain moves a little bit. Also good and strong motormounts are recommended. The weak point in a setup like this is the transmission, if you use an automatic with alucase. You can see this also on their website.

Personally, I've always been a glutton for punishment. I went with the 37-bajillion point lock-it-down approach... 2 points on the engine, 2 points on the tranny, 2 points on the 203, 2 points on the 205, the entire case on the PTO cover on the 205, and a lotta bushings.

If you use the same spacing for the 203 bushing as for the 205 bushings its ok. Otherwise you will create some stress points when the drivetrain rotates a little bit. ..in a perfect world
Another point is the frame flex ... which is on a m715 not really a problem
Nice setup!

Ok, i decided to go with the 440 and will probably ditch the 727 for an np 435 set-up. Here is my question if I go with the np 435 would it be worth the extra money to do a 203 205 setup like Bob is going for? What are the pros, cons? Would it be divorced or mated to the back of the trans? Is it to much gearing for any practical purpose?

BLUESMAN DID YOU GO WITH STOCK 60 FRONT END OR MODERN 60 FRONT END ?

I think if you run the 203 mated to the 435 it's going to be shorter. That's the route I'm taking in my J200 w/401.
