Another thing is aftermarket parts availability, compare a list of parts available for a truck 12 compared to a 9", even a car 12 for that matter. My new 9" won't have a single Ford part in it, except for being based on one of their rearend designs, to call it a Ford rear is a very large stretch. I have this coversation with a guy all the time who's also hung up on go with a 12 bolt opinion, and it goes the same way every time. I have way too much money tied up in my truck 12 now and it is still way too weak for my application, and I have no plans of sinking a single nickel into it ever again.
