If you know a good welder they should be able to make it work good. It'll take some work though.

That will be my next mod too. I'm just now starting to do some research on it though. I've got a friend that told me he'd do the welding for me.

The cheapest way to go is with the Moser 9 inch housing and axle package from me for $1050.00 shipped. Then find a used center section and you're off and running! Bob
