i have a strange 12 bolt in my car it kind of loud i didnt know if its the type of gears or if it the set up. im going to take it apart and find out
for me it all about keeping the car GM LOL
its easy to work on a 12 bolt not so much on a 9in
ive been in some cars that have some loud 9in too
ive heard of 9inch bottoming out on the bottom of the car because its alittle biger. anyone know if thats true? not a 100% on that
you might have to change your TA depends on what you have
but in the end if you dont care go with the 9 but but if its not a big HP car a 12 will work two

Only if there happens to be a big bump in between where the tires are riding. It's a solid axle, so the housing will always be higher than where the wheels are.

Depending on the ride height it will, also depending on the torque arm you use, you will have to make some clearence because it will hit the driveshaft tunnle.

for some reason my aluminum cover on the 12 bolt was bottoming out really bad on my upper panhard bar, and the other day i noticed it dug in pretty good into my gas tank...not sure yet why, havent had much of a chance to work on my own car lately...
the part that piuzzles me is my car is a freakin 4x4...i got a 6 inch wheel well gap in the back and 5.5 in the front.... i guess it just weight transfers real good...lol
