Re: Got the rear fixed!
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.

I set up gears in many different rears, built PTO's for big trucks and driveshafts for a while before I changed profession. Now I'm a software engineer. The last two rears I put together for friends was an 8.8 that is cutting 1.2XX 60ft times and a 9inch that is pulling the same 60ft. I only charged my buddy $50 to set up his 9 inch. They are so easy it is unbelievable. I will not do another one on my back. If you look close, you will notice even mine is up on a bench out of the truck.
