Default no clearance problems here

here is a side shot from a Midwest Chassis fabricated 9 inch rearend installed. this is old picture from one of the first rearend housings i did for the f-body. this is the full size 9.5 ring gear housing and note the amount of clearance to the fuel tank in particular. this car is a 99 and is equipped with a plastic tank and now has 4 inch exhaust. the new design housings that are now in production have almost another 1 inch more clearance than this housing.

i will post pics of the newest housings soon.

Looks good! Should even clear a 3 ch ABS sensor. I assume that is with stock springs?

that is on a car lowered 1 inch. the new design housings have even more clearance. the 3 channel sensor can go in the back or the top with no clearance problems.
