Talk to ssvert99 about the s60,just bought mine off of him. Very nice to deal with and doesn't just blow you off like some places. By the way he is a Strange dealer.

no, you cannot use your stock driveshaft. The S60 requires a shaft that is 1.625" shorter. As far as the debate, the 60 is heavier but is more efficient with its pinion closer to the centerline of the ring gear.

Id opt moser or S60. Thers a reason why the 4x4 guys run them with 44in plus inch tires. Plus their cheaper than 9inches. Last quote I had from moser was around 1795$ with spool, 35spline axles blah blah.

Had a S60, got a 9" and no more problems. A lot more gear choices as well. Picked up 0.75 MPH with the 9" over the S60, so much for more hp to turn a 9".
9" is a proven design and it's been around for a while. I have not had any issues with clearance with my 9". The S60 is a custom housing made for strange. I had a very bad experience with my S60 and I am less than impressed with Stranges build quality.
Who puts it together is just as important as who makes it.
I recommend the 9".
