Just rear ends Not recommended, I am currently installing a BOLT IN 9 inch from this company and having many issues. I will post all the problems later...on my cell right now.
Ok, issues with the "BOLT IN" diff from justrearends,
1- brakes calipers installed on rear of disc instead of front as specified. I called company and the guy said that’s how all builders install them and you need to buy custom parking brake cables.
2 - wrong studs (ordered 3 inch) stock length installed.
3- wrong pinion flange (4 inch installed) 5 inch needed for bolt in installation. Also not 1330 u joint as specified (some weird ford size)
4- wrong brake hose (double flare installed) ISO flare on f body since about 1984.
5- brake lines installed on top axle housing interfere with bump stops.
6- no sway bar mount.
We were also told by this company that NO rear end builders support 4 channel ABS cars and It would have to be deleted.
Statement copy and pasted from website.
Complete Ford 9 inch Rear End for GM 1993-02 "F" Body GM cars. This is a new housing with 31 spline axles. Torque Arm Bracket Included. The axles are drilled for the chevy 5 on 43/4 bolt pattern. Rebuilt 9 inch Trac Loc Posi Third Member. Dynapro Low-Profile Pro-Series rear disc brakes with the Chevy 5 on 43/4 bolt pattern.
This is a completely assembled and painted Rear End that is ready to Bolt-in and add oil.

Doing a quick Google search that doesn't look like much of a deal compared to other options out there especially our fabricated housing package.
For not much more you could of had a fabricated rear end from Midwest Chassis that has E-brake brackets, Drain plug, Brake line tabs & clips, and come's with a torque arm and crossmember of your choice. Oh and we could make the 4ch or 3ch option work, which is true other manufactures can not.
Even better yet you would get 35SPL axles and a new differential not a used rebuilt one.
If you have any questions I'd be more than happy to give suggestions. You can email me at midwestchassis2@hotmail.com
