which rear end should i go with MOSER, STRANGE, 8.8? which rear end should i go with MOSER, STRANGE, 8.8?
I need to get a rear end. BADLY! I am spraying a 150 shot dry on a stock rear and gear. I cut a 1.899 60 ft which is the best i could cut in fear of breakin my rear end. I am running 7.58 in an 1/8th. I know its just a matter of time so i am goin to go ahead and order a rear end. Now with all that said. Which rear end is the easiest to install, Takes the least amount of work to install and is basically a direct bolt in replacement. I want one that shouldnt break and that i will have the least amount of problems with. This is also my daily driver. Should i go with the moser 12 bolt, moser 9 inch, strange 12 bolt orwith the custom built 8.8 rear end. I need ALOT of input on this guys. This is alot of money for me to dish out. I just want to get the best product for the money. Also what options should i go with on each rear end? I have a 6 spd with ABS and TCS. Thanks
PS Also do i really have to worry about breakin my driveshaft? I have heard some say yeah and some say no. I have a spec stage 3 clutch so i am realy not worried about the clutch. I plan on leaving the line around 5 grand or better and i would like to spray off the line if possible. Come on now guys help me out!

Manufacture wasn't my top priority . Cost was . Also Iwanted a ford 9. Used them for the last 20 years. There tough durable and canbe rebuilt athte house on the kitchen table. Though I wouldnt recommed that.
Moser had the cheapest forrd 9 housing and axles
4x4 specialties had the cheapest 3rd member
Thunder had the swaybar relocation brackets.
