Guessing about 2 weeks.
I have to rip the stock rear end out and send the backing plates to the builder.
Then probably a week out.
Thinking 9" with 3.90's.

sounds good to me... you probably have to much power to be effective with anything bigger like 4.27's

Was considering 4.11's.
Until I started looking at were I would be topping out 4th gear with 26" tires.
I would be bouncing off the rev limiter in 4th gear at sea level crossing the traps. Roughly 124 MPH.
So I am thinking I need a little less gear.

15 inch rims can clear your brakes and calipers? interesting.
Mr. Luos
07-17-2006, 10:24 AM
No. :lol:
I have to grind down the calipers. Brakes fit though. Rears aren't the big ones.

I don't have the rear end here yet.
By the looks of things, I may be changing who is building it for me. I can't get this guy to return my calls. You best return my calls when I spend this much money.
Same set-up, but may be here quicker. :lol:
Probably won't have traction control or ABS anymore though, but I will save $200. Not that I use either.

Plenty.
Worth $400 maybe in the shape it is in. 31,000 miles.
It just fell out when rice(er) revved at me. Scary stuff.
