>ISn't it stronger than the stock 7.5"? I was also thinking of just putting a girdle on.....do they real help with the strength thing? I had a rear pinion gear go on me and I don't want it to happen again!!! It's no fun waiting on the side of the road for a flat-bed! |

10 bolts i think are the same size..but dont quote me on that..you could ask the tgo guys on that thread i posted above to double check... 9 inch, dana, 12 bolt would be ideal..but pricier... What horsepower figures do you want the rear to handle? |

I would def go 8.5 or 12 bolt with that much power to the rear..then again though, you will have to deal with the cclip issue but a good shop can weld in ends off of a 9 inch...there are many possiblities and variations of things you can do.. |

>Well, I know the 4th gen rears are longer, but are they stronger than our 7.5 10 bolts? It's a direct bolt-in, right? |
