To be honest with you I wish there was a sticky for this. I'm ignorant to a 9" swap. The bear needs a rear end before track time resumes so we don't send shrapnel across the staging area. I need to know basically start to finish on this.

We can help you with a complete custom fabricated housing build to suit your needs if that is what you are after. Give me a call and we can figure something out, we can also sell you our laser cut brackets we have that have to be fabricated and welding to suit your needs if you are building your own set up.

Currie is the only place that I know of that offers a torque arm bracket that you could use if you are putting together your own 9 inch combo. Bob

Ok there's a junk yard with race cars that my buddy came upon. A secret hideaway for beasts to rest. There are about 9 or 10 9" there for cheap! Where do I begin?

Like I posted we sell a kit but using the exact same laser cut pieces that go onto our fabricated housings. We also sell our torque arm and cross member with weld on tabs so you do not have to use any bulky brackets to hook up a torque arm.

If you can weld on all the other items, welding on the torque arm bracket will be no problem.

If youre thinking about getting a rear from MWC, you can get either a long or short torque arm setup included in that price. I got the PST steel d/s for $300, the aluminum is about $100 more.

We have different cross members for our short arms to try and cover just these problems, but like mentioned we offer a long arm as well. Our short arm does come with a drive shaft loop built in.

An your not only getting a bullet proof rear end for that kind of money shipped but you are getting a fabricated nine inch for that kind of money with a torque arm and cross member. The best deal on the market today by far, you not only get all that you get the satisfaction knowing the people selling you these items are out there racing the exact same parts in their vehicles.. Plus we are available all the time for tech support on the items we sell our customers.
