Default Before I install my Moser 9...

Can anyone tell me what I exactly need for a smooth install. Don't want to unbolt stuff, and piece together the 9 inch only to find out I need or am missing something. I searched the internet and really didn't get much but the write up on EPP's web site. I have the moser rear end, and right now I also have a 3" steel driveshaft with conversion u joint. Also looking to add an aftermarket torque arm to go in at the same time. What else would I need? Is there a concern with the OEM swaybar?

3" exhaust clamps from AutoZone to install the stock sway bar.

A flex head ratchet wrench will really help when bolting down the axles/backing plates.

Depending on the yoke you have installed on the 3rd member, your drive shaft might give you problems with vibration... but chances are most likely that you'll be ok.

Good luck! Very soon, I'll be doing the same thing!

Sweet on the exhaust clamps info. I was thinking i was going to have to pay $100 for the aftermarket rear end stock sway bar kit. I know the U joint is the 1350, and the guy I bought it from had the m6 tranny as I do.

Here you can see the 3" clamps.

The sway bar itself is slightly rubbing on the larger 9" housing...

Oh yeah, I forgot, that driveshaft you have might be an inch to short. Like Eagle02 said, vibration issues.
