Default 9" rear is in

You could not pay me enough to do this install the way i did it again. In the garage on jack stands. If your preparing to do this install find a lift to do it with.

With that said............im very happy that the install is done. Just did my first heat cycle and im letting the gears cool now. The rear end looks bullet proof.

As for the important stuff. It is dead quiet for the time being. Thanks Scott.

At least you were in a garage. I did mine in the driveway on jackstands! Enjoy having something you can beat the **** out of unlike the 10bolt.

Actually I would prefer the jack stands method. How would you get the rear in the air up to the car? I have had my rear out a few times and is a cake walk now.

For those that are going to do this in the future, use good paint. I used Stops Rust from Rustolium and it scratches pretty easy. I have to get under the car and do lots of touching up.

Nothing wrong with jackstands. Something wrong with not having enough garage space and having to swap the damn thing out in the driveway.

A transmission jack.

I'd prefer using a lift, myself.
