9" for sure, if you have stock LCAs, driveshaft, torque arm ect., talk to Midwest chassis, by the time you buy all of that with the 9" you will get the fabbed 9" cheaper than a moser.

Yea man for sure hit up Eric at Midwest Chassis, the 9" will be the same weight as the 10 bolt if you get the aluminum center, and when you buy it through him he sells rod ended LCAs(really nice ones) for $175 and a 3" Chromoly strange driveshaft for $175 and it comes with a torque arm. Ryne and Mike saw mine under my car this last week and were impressed by it.Its a kick *** setup especially if you need the add ons.

u would be fine with a 12 bolt 9in is a stronger unit but its a good amount of money more and not really necessary to have. if u have the spare cash tho go for it. 9inchers werent really used much 4yrs ago when i put mine in and my car has seen as much as 700wheel without any problems at all...CJ has a 12 bolt and he beats the **** out of it with almost 800wheel and no problems.its pretty much personal preference..if ur not planning on making 1000hp i dont think its necessary. 12 bolt has its issues but none that cant be fixed with a tack weld
