Default New 9" Coming!

Finally after weeks of researching and discussing options... I decided to get a 9" 31 spline Trutrac with LCA relocation brackets and 3.70 gears from Bob @ EPP.

Can't wait to get it in and test it out!!

Thanks to Jeff @ JawsGear and Ssvert @ Midwest Performance for all the advice and info and help in deciding what to get!

Any tips / advice on the install to make it go quick/easy?

Something I did, was used a cutoff wheel and notched the e-brake bracket to get it off of the brake line. Then I cut the part of the bracket for the e-brake line and welded it to the lca relocation bracket. Works just as good as before and looks like it came with the rear. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward from the install pics on EPP's site. I can get pics if needed.

I guess I'm kind of confused on what you mean... Is this necessary?
