Well Mike, dont know where your located really, but if I was relaively
close to Richmond Indiana I would go with Moser. they are cheap, and
EXCELLENT service and quality of product! I took two rear ends down, 8.75"
and a Dana 60 and had both shortened in 4 hours. Got them there at 8am,
picked em up at noon, 400 bucks. That includes shortening them, new axel
housing ends, new bearings (timiken), new AXLES!, and a coupla other
things, anyway, great price, and it is still alive behind close to 600
HP... also, its just my opinion, but dont count out the old chrysler
8.75... I would take it over a ford 9" any day of the week... plus I would
never put anything labeled ford on my truck.... :) IMHO
