4.11 gear
Full spool
35 splined axles and 1/2 studs
aluminum center with support
long t/a for true duals with driveshaft loop (have a y-pipe on it tho)
red powder coat
Do you have pics of the driveshaft loop setup on the long torque arm? He doesn't have any on his site.

quick search here yielded this:

this customer ran his fuel/brake lines through the gap, but the part is designed to go between the tunnel and the lines. we keep these in stock in red and black usually, and will work with anybody's exhaust or torque arm.

i got a set-up in my car as well.....
-backbraced housing
-short TA
-31spline axles
-spool with 4.11 gears

I dont know why anyone buys anything else! I got mine in raw metal so i was able to see the quality of the welds, and they were perfect. I also have his LCA's and he made me a trans crossmember for my th350 swap and all thoes products are just as nice!

ok just got off the phone once again with Eric, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on Billet Specialties Street lites 17x11 with a 4.75 BS and front 17x9.
this should be delivered about the same time with the rear end.

one question:
what type of bearings do I need to get in order to assemble the 9 inch?
I know I have to remove the backing plates from the 10 bolt and the brake lines as well. anything else I need to prepare for?

what type of fluid is recommended for the rear?

here are what the wheels look like...

look at the lip



Unfortunately, the wheels did not fit the car bc of the backspacing, I will be getting the correct ones as soon as Billet specialties make them.
The BS necessary to fit under the car with a 3 inch narrow rear is 4.75 on a 17x11
those wheels are 5.25 and will fit on a 2" narrowed rear. I need the extra space for clearance....
Im really happy with the wheel selection though, its a super nice wheel that pictures dont do it justice. Billet Specialties made a very nice wheels that looks classy and bad *** in my opinion.
