Default ***EXTREME CHASSIS*** Do you stand behind your work(8.8")?

Craig,

I can never get you to answer my question inside a post so I will just make a post.

Do you stand behind your craftsmanship on you rear-ends? Will you repair/replace the ones that have broken (your "older" design housings)? If we send you our housing will you fix them and ensure they're up to par with your "new" stonger design?

Thanks,

Mike Brown

I'd like to know too because I was considering this mod for the near future, if not, I'll probably go with a 9" or 12 bolt from a diff company...

hey mikey thats not a problem i can upgrade any of my old housings if you want to send them back to me i will fix them for sure! i would much rather do that then have any of them brake thats for sure! anyone that wants to send them back i will upgrade them i am also trying to develope an upgrade that i can just send to my customers and have them have it installed at a chassis shop or welding shop instead of pulling the rear and shipping it to me but this might take a little while to design and have them laser cut and then get them shipped out i will keep everyone posted on this! thanx

good to hear, i plan to go this route as well w/ the 8.8.

power wise there a lil stronger then a 12 bolt but weaker then a 9" right?

is there less drivetrain loss then a 9"?

I appreciate you standing behind your work, after I get back from my honeymoon in two weeks I'll take the 8.8" apart and ship the housing off to you ASAP for repairs/upgrades!

I'm going to have to ship you some beer with it! Let me know whatcha drink.

Thanks,

Mike

Craig will take care of it. He's ALWAYS been there for me when I had a question or problem (not that i've had that many).

Craig let me know about this upgrade. I would like to do it if it's possible
