GREAT Pricing on 9" setups.

Not to mention I've never heard or read one bad word about them.

Nothing fit is perfect .

with the Dennies Nitrous Ready Driveshaft i have perfect engagement with the output shaft on the Transmission. With the 12 i had a nasty grinding sound never was able to set the TQ perfect if i did it would bottom out the yoke on the driveshaft.

I have been breaking my 9" in all weekend. I feel the 9" fits better and much cleaner looking. I also think the TQ arm is better in line with the diff and i was able to set it where i wanted the angle.

I may be off center but i have been slowly getting on her and the Track Loc feels wicked way better feeling than the Strange posi unit coupled with the relocation brackets and M/T drag radials the car hook's like an animal.

No i may have expressed my self wrong The stock length driveshaft worked perfect in the 9" . The driveshaft did not fit well in the 12 bolt.

My TQ is a Sphon tunnal brace mounted

Chris, I have tried to call you and get some feedback on the 9". Looks like you got everything under control. Oh, the differential is a True-Trac, enjoy.

Scott:

All is going well broke the rear in over the weekend. Zero problems with install. The center section is dead quiet. No leaks any where. Thanks for the help and i will continue to refer you to others. You did one hell of a job building my 9".

Thanks Again

Chris

Very simple stuff one thing to keep in mind Pass axle is longer.Right backing plate goes on Pass axle.

I have one of those harbor freight shop press 12 ton. Cost is about $99 Arbor plates included
Assemble in this order:

1. Backing plate
2 Bearing - O ring toward wheel
3. Press ring

Done iIt will take you 10 min each axle

Greese the o ring and slide it in the housing bolt it up 35 ftlb
