You are better off getting a moser 9" housing that has all the suspension mount points and torque arm mount complete.


You will run into problems with the torque arm mount, backing plate mounts, and possibly overall width of the housing. Geometry is crucial.

#1, the thirdmember of a 9" is up front and the torque arm mount is already on it, plus i could get one from moser, already solved that problem, will bolt right in.
#2 all i need to know is how to make the suspension mounts or will i need to get a doner 10 bolt and cut them off of it and weld them on the new axel tubes
