Wife just emailed me saying you called about the other stuff.. sounds good thank you! Thanks again with helping me on the building delay etc. Just got worried when the other items didn't show up as I didn't get a notice that they weren't built yet, no biggie though.

Here is my new rear end. Ordered 4/18/11 received yesterday evening. I had them assemble it all up for me so I just have to install it and break it in.
Details:
- MWC Fab 9" backbraced and narrowed 5"
- Eaton Wavetrac diff 35 spline
- Yukon thru-bolt aluminum center section
- Yukon factory lightened 4.30 gears
- Strange 35 spline heat treated axles
- Tow loops and extra fill cap
- MWC Short tq arm
- MWC tunnel mount w/ driveshaft loop
- MWC weld-in anti-roll bar
I am still waiting on another delivery from them idk where it is or why they didn't ship it yet if they haven't.
- MWC mild steel K-member
- MWC lower a-arms
- MWC front bumper support
- MWC rear bumper support

I like the bumper support idea. Saving a few pounds here and there would make up for this under achieving 460

I know darn near every time Eric has gone to a track to race he has had at least one rear end with him for a customer.

eric/jason/anybody - i need a pic or two so i can see how the damn brake lines go onto the unit. standard width rearend with stock brakelines. there's a couple brackets, etc. that i don't quite understand how they fit in without really bending the stock lines!!

got the rearend installed today. other than the brake line issue posted earlier, it went fairly smoothly. couple comments and questions tho.
-for the 4 channel guys - did you have any trouble getting the sensors back in? i had eric assemble mine so when i went to put the abs sensors in, the axle housing is in the way. had to grind down the sensor edge to get them in!:-( there was a little bit of a grove cut in the housing but it really needs to go alot further.
-the drive shaft loop is very nice but it REALLY pinches the gas lines on the drivers side. i'll take some pics later. another 1/8 inch clearance would have made a big difference.

it would be nice if some of the common questions could be put in post 1 or a sticky for the MWC.
e.g
1) what hole from the bottom should the LCAs bolt into and why. i see some at 2 and others at 3?
2) what hole should the front of the torque arm go in and why.
3) the 3? original ebrake wire loop retainers are not able to be used.
........
also, maybe some install instructions/tips with a few nice, clear, concise pics.
its tedious to try to look/search through 2500+ posts
