I have been looking at them. They seem like killer solution for a lot of applications. Let us know what you find out and if you end up getting one.

I dont have one yet but.......Its what I plan on getting. I will be running ford motor and tranny but I have a chev D60. The stak will eliminate this problem. They also have clocking rings like an atlas so you can move it to where you need it. The rep told me they were about 6 weeks out so if you need it soon you better get it ordered.

I really like mine. The one bad thing is it is really heavy and you have to support the back side of the tcase. If you dont you will break the tranny case.

I don't know much about Stack, but the Atlas 4spd is real nice. Lighter than Stack,one more gear ratio, plus smooth shifting.

I'd rather have the Stax 1:1, 3:1, 5:1 ratios than the Atlas 1:1, 2.0:1, 2.7:1 & 5.4:1 or 1.1, 2.7:1, 3.8:1 & 10.3:1. The middle ratios are so close together I can't see a big advantage and then the jump all the way up to 10:1 would be almost useless in all but a fwe situations.

the atlas 1:1, 2:1...5.4:1 would be bitchen. I think 3:1 is too low to be useful for something other than crawlin, where 2:1 would be awesome for dunes and such. Different strokes though for sure.

my 1:1/2:1/2.73/5.4 kick asz ... I'd buy this case again in a heart beat.

Mud Snow, 2:1 kicks ... normal 2.73 kicks, want to crawl, 5.4 is way plenty, even with my 400 auto, going down steep.

i know atlas is tried and trued for years now.. but i dont care for the reduction box bolted to the end of the tcase. i'd rather have one unit... plus i would lose about 2" more of drive shaft over the stak.. i also agree with jay5.9l the 10:1 ratio would never be used it is just way to low..if i was going with a 2 speed i would probably go with a atlas....thanks for your input

Can you really feel a difference from 2:1 to 2.7?

Yes ... I took 3rd in the Open class at King Challenge ... I ran 2:1 on the Baja, mud pit and tire pit, 2.73 on the logs and the Gauntlet and 5.4 on the rocks.

When in St.George, 2:1 was perfect on their sand dunes (2.73 was too slow/low to get up there big sand hill)

Playing in some early spring snow 2:1 once again was perfered to 2.73.

I've had an atlas and I think it shifts the same for the front and rear hi an low. The shifting for the 3.0 to 5.41 is so smooth and easy on mine. Ive had the case for over year and half. The case isnt much bigger than the atlas II and the output for the front is over about a 1" which took away the problem of the driveline and tranny problem that I had my narrowed axle. With the novak adapter and the stak it gave me better driveline angles and lenghts front and rear. I use the hell out of the 3.0 and 5.41.
