So would it be that much of an upgrade from a Dana 44? I have Moser shafts in my 44 that's in the rig now. So is a 9" enough of a gain to justify the expense, or would the next logical upgrade be a Dana 60?
After rebuilding the 9" in my son's 78 F-150 I got thinking about it as a crawler axle. Yes it's got a low pinion but in a rig with plenty of rear drive line (such as an early Bronco) that wouldn't be too big of an issue. It looks like it would have really good clearance. I have read posts...
Yea, that's where I saw them I think. The only other gears I am really familiar with are Dana, but they don't have them for the 9" as far as i can tell. I did find Yukon, but I haven't had any experience with them either.
I am regearing my sons F-150 from 3.54's to 4.10. For the 9" rear I have seen good deals on G2 brand gears (I have a set of Dana/Spicer gears for the front 44). I have no experience with this brand and was wondering if anyone had used it? Quality etc. Thanks.
The safety inspection process being discontinued isn't going to change the vehicle equipment laws at all. Everything will remain the way it is, it will just now be up to the patrol officer to enforce these laws rather than the individual at the garage.

Thenag so I read your linked post. Is going with the cable E Brake as big a pain as it sounds like? I would really like to have one as I'm running a 4spd for now.
OK. It sounds like maybe I'm worrying about something that doesn't matter. No I'm not a competitive driver, I just enjoy more extreme trails than most do. I accepted many years ago that occasionally breaking parts was part of the game. I just don't like to break any more than necessary. I pulled...
Yea the 14 is built like a brick crap house for sure. Only thing I worry about is on 35's will I be dragging it everywhere I go. I do have the 31 spline big bearing 9" I could use. It would have a lot more clearance. When I was running standard width on my Scout I had 44's front and rear ( they...
