installing 12 bolt into f body?
I am looking to buyig either a moser 12 bolt or moser 9in, my question is can i just bolt up the new rear end or do i have to have certain aftermarket suspension to make it work? (ie. sway bar,relocation blackeds,lca's,tq arm,drive shaft) I would like to get the new rear end and later do the suspension pieces.

I have a 12 bolt with stock suspension parts. You'll have to get a couple of things like 3" exhaust clamps, a new U-joint, and some zip ties to zip your brake lines down to the axle tube. You'll also need a little 3/8" fuel line for the vent tube. Pretty straight forward install with a buddy or two to spot you.

alll you will really need is the swasy bar mounting kit, a new ujoint and small everday stuf, zipties, some hose ect nothing big, granted i dont have stock suspension any more but still would have worked if i did, remember not much if any of the suspension stuff is rear axle specific either
