Ok, I went the 9" route vs. tweaking my 8.8"


Originally I was set on sending my 8.8" housing to Mark Williams for their "8.8" Beef Up" upgrades. That all changed when I came across a good deal on a 9" housing and axles to match:
  • Custom 9" housing
    Narrowed 1.5" on each end
    New style big ford bearing housing ends
    Moser 35-spline axles shortened

Total cost shipped to my door = $860
Now to cut down on weight savings I'll need to piece together an aluminium center section. Add to that, I have plans on getting the whole TeamZ rear suspension setup, LCA/UCA/ARB/Coil-over conversion.
At least Santa brought me something for Christmas in 2006 to compensate for higher gas prices and increased property taxes!
