What's that saying... "you have to pay to play" or perhaps the infamous "you get what you pay for." You can keep replacing the 10 bolt with a used one for roughly $200. Or drop big coin on a quality piece that will more than likely last for the rest of the cars life. Good luck man. I know it sucks, but at least after doing it you don't have to worry about grenading the 10 bolt every time you leave the starting line.

yeah and if u get upgrades for the rear like powder coating,aluminum center section ect,then the price can easily get over 3k.Plus u will need a stronger driveshaft when doing a rear,so another 400 for a decent upgraded one,mine as well get some good lower control arms for the new rear while its out,another 250.Oh and some nice et streets for the back so that traction can now be used with a strong rear.+410.It gets over 4k real quick,so save save save,and pray your wife will let u get it after you have saved.Mine told me i SHOULD get it,but i started smoothing her over about it 2 years ago haha

yeah these things get quite pricey. I'd say you are looking to spend about $3100-3300 for a fab 9" with driveshaft and tq arm. Eric at MWC does great work and can get you what you want. You might be able to find one used if you are lucky but if you are going to drop a couple thousand might as well go with a new one.
