Why do you suggest they are painted? Do you have any pictures of these installed (from a guy that does not know anything about rear axles) since toe loops and transverse shock mounts got some love?

Because you are purchasing a nice clean brand new rear end. Cleaning and painting them up makes them look that much better.

This pic shows a brand new set, they are behind the axle flange.

Do you guys still off the housing minus center section and axles? I remember when it was first offered you could get the housing and suspension parts for around 1500 or so and was wondering if that was still an option?

Depending on location you can do our housing and torque arm package for $1250 shipped. This comes with all the standard feature we offer with our complete package such as drain plug, all F-body specific brackets, E-brake bracket(98-02), brake line tabs, and all necessary hardware. It can still be outfitted with a back brace, tow loops, and any width needed.

just about any new 9 inch rearend out there will have stud alignment issues with the first center section install. We have never had a center just "not fit".

I have a moser bolt together third member, I have assembled 9 inches before and know what you are saying about the studs not lining up the first time. This particular issue is that one of the bearing caps hits the housing, the housing needs to be notched....not a huge problem I was just curious if you guys have seen this before.

Yours is in the build process as we speak. Took some shuffling but it appears we should be on track. We are more than happy to do what ever our service men and woman need. They have been our biggest customers for the better part of two years.

Going out of our way is the least we can do in exchange for what you are doing for us.

His original order was on 3-15 how ever he would of had a rear end awhile ago but made changes to his order and had to be put back and tossed back on the list. His original order matched another order so we could use his housing and axles with another customer. (All Brand new mind you)

Changes to builds happen quit often but that is the reason many people chose us is because we can make these changes for them and build them what suits their needs.

Brad has been a great customer to work with, thank you for your business. I can't wait to see the finished pictures.

I will be calling tomorrow to change my order. Going to chop 6" off it and go back to 1/2" studs. It's time for new wheels to. So much for the 10 spokes. They will be missed.

Might be a dumb question to ask but do you guys do any kind of discount for military I know there is always the issue if people actually proving it. Im getting close to ordering my complete rear end with watts link sfc, lcas and drive shaft so I will be getting a ton of stuff from you guys.

alsoI dont see how someone spent 8k on there rear end with yu cause I added all my stuff up and its knowhere near close to that pirce and im gettin most of the upgraded stuff LOL. I definetly look forward to making my call to you guys and ordering my rear end, and definetly waiting for the day I get to make my first pass with it and my new 418 when I get home from afghanistan

We do offer a Military discount.

As for $8000 it can add up fast actually. It would be brakes, shocks, wheels and everything to do so but it can be done. We are a one stop shop and can get you anything you need.

Hey guys, by chopping 6" off the rear, my Fikse wheels will have a 5.5" lip. Oh my that's going to sweet and very different. You don't see that everyday.
