So i am wanting to beef my rear end up without dropping the money on a 9". my build plan is to get the LPW rear cover and the JRE billet caps. I am also planning on the detroit truetrac and wanting to get either 3.70 or 3.73 gears. I dont plan on installing the actual truetrack or gears due to the chance to mess it up versus the fact its only a couple hundred at a shop. but i will be taking the pumpkin out and taking it to a shop.

now my main 2 questions are:
1-what is the best gear installment kit that works with the truetrack and doesnt come with a bunch of extra stuff i dont need and fits the right gears?
2-what gear company is recommended for either ratio?

thanks guys. im new to the forum and just looking for some knowledge

I'd like to know this too. I won't be changing gears but the truetrac and lpw cover interest me. Thought I'd do axles too. I would think that all 3 components would help with durability.
Anyone done this?

#1 - If you're diff is still in good condition and doesnt leak, get this:

If you want a full rebuild, use this:

#2 - Richmond is the only gearset for 3.73.

Screw the LPW cover and get some billet end caps. Fix the problem, dont band aid it.

what about the billet caps with the LPW rear cover? added insurance? or not needed?

If you really wanna spend the money, sure. But all the research I did, everyone said to pass on it, so I did. You're not going to deflect a billet cap.

my jre rear upgrade had the billet caps and posi mod. both worked out real well.
jannetty suggested I run the 3.73. I was extremely happy with the set-up.

Thanks. I'll look into them. How do you like the TrueTrac?

Anybody looked at Auburn Gear's product?

I only ran it for about 800 miles before I had a catastrophic failure due to incompetent installation, but I loved it. I never really got a chance to really romp on it, but the few rolling onramps I did, the car just took off and left. I dont have money for another rebuild, but I will be putting it back in some day.

so ordered the truetrac with GM 3.91 gears with the lingenfelter gear installation kit, might be too much but decided would rather make an order once instead of missing a few items. also got the JRE billet caps and decided to get the LPW rear cover just for added insurance. and got a set of BMR bushings for the diff. cant wait for it all to come in. when i make the build ill be sure to post it all.
