| I bought a kit online for just under $300. It made it simple and didn't have to figure out the exact dimentions to make one etc. You could have the whole rear axle for $500 or so. new disc brakes, new rotors, new calipers, new bearings. 3.55 or so gears, no locker, 31 spline I believe. | |

| Thats what they said but after i started looking at the parts online I began to wonder if they would work right Because auto zone had all sorts of screwy part numbers which some were special order. | |

just in case I was RIGHT and you should have swapped out that low pinion 9" when you had the chance?  | |

Nothing wrong with my 9"...it is the adapters I'm concerned about. If I have any problem with them then I'll have to convert to full float....there is no other option there if I keep the 9. That will mean changing my axle shafts (need 35 slpine instead of 31) and replacing the locker and the spare 3rd I have wouldn't be too helpful (except for the gears). It may just be cost effective to put the 60 in instead. I'll have to wait and see how it goes.
