Here's a tip to do it cheap, find a non-posi housing and axles ($100-125),
New bearings ($80), find a used center section with posi on e-bay
($250-300), get a set of competion engineering shock mounts and spring pads
($30). If you do this, It will cost you between $450-525. Or you can di it
my way and get everything new and HD, and spend about $1400. The big expense
is in the center section, if you find that cheap, everything else is
inexpensive.
