Thanks. Where were you 6 months ago?? JK. This ZR2 rearend I got a great deal on but I will have some screwing around with shortening it... It was 63" wide and I will take 4.25" out of each side. Then I can figure out what my back spacing will be. It is posi and the brakes are already disc which is a plus..

Moser will shorten the housing and stock axles and re-spline them for $260.00 which I think is very fair...a 3 hr drive each way sucks though.
