Project ugly duckling

[dazedandconfused]

It will cost me over a grand to build a 9" to hold power. Also i can't find high gear ratios for them that dont costba sthi load.

Think a chrysler 8.75" would hold up?

Gosh Andy, I would have cut you a helluva deal on that 9.25". If 8.75" is good, 9.25" must be better

[RumbleFish]

haha not!!

[dazedandconfused]

I don't know, It will have 31x16.00x15 tires on the rear. A dana 60 would probably work but no matter what it will need cut down and new housing ends and axles.

[RumbleFish]

You could potentially get a 8.75 out of a truck. It'll bolt in!

[dazedandconfused]

Ive never seen a 8.75 in a truck. It would probably still need to be narrowed to tuck my wheels and tires.vi just did a quick search and they want big money for those.

Shelbyville isn't far away for you and I'm going to be down that way anyway on Saturday...

[dazedandconfused]

Ill probably go get that 9" i saw at the junkyard Saturday.

On Yellowbullet, some axle shafts and bearings on the Explorer 8.75" hold up to a good amount of power.

[dazedandconfused]

Wheels showed up today. I found a few 8.75 rears but the local mopar guy told me they wont hold up to the tq if I get it to hook.

[PToombs]

Do you really think those 5 lug wheels will hold up to the torque?

[dazedandconfused]

Im not worried about the wheels just the studs but they shouldn't be a issue.

[cmann250]

I recall seeing this from SuperiorRam.

[dazedandconfused]

I won't be running stock studs because of that. They will be chrome molly when i order axles.
