Alright. I just went out and bought a ford 9 inch. it has 3.50 gears. Its was pretty much complete minus some brake parts. which is all good. But now comes the bad part. He didn't know if it was a 31 or a 28 spline. Me and my friend just got done tearing it down and i found out it is a 28 spline. Would the 28 spline be okay for running 35's? or would i want to upgrade later down the road?
 
I may be wrong...... but if you get a locker for it, I believe you can change the spline count at that time - just order one with 31 splines. You'd just have to get matching 31 spline axle shafts. :dunno:

Hope fully. Ill end up gettin some alloys or some stronger type shafts when i get a locker. Im gonna start lookin for upgrades before i put it in.

On a side note I got the perches ground off. I kinda dug into the housing a little But i don't think its nothin to worry about.

Hopefully ill have it all ground down here in the next week or so. then i can start painting.

Just looked up some lockers gears and master install kits. Looks like im lookin at Under a grand for those. Then I Might just go look for some 31 spline shafts.

Im either thinkin of goin with a powertrax no slip or the detroit. Leanin more towards the detroit.
Probably gonna go with a set of 4.56's.

Anyways heres a pic of this thing.

Uh...... doncha wanna weld on new perches before you paint it?

:looney:
 
Well duh. Wanna help? :D. in its state right now, it wouldn't be to difficult to carry somewhere and have em weld em on.
 
What year and model donated this?
 
I hear that runnin a Detroit in the rear and an ARB in the front is the best locker setup you could have.
 
Well since i cannot find another 9 inch ill just have to use this one. All the other ones i found wouldn't be worth the drive to get em. I think ill just spend some green and get this one under my rig.

Thats really a matter of opinion and completely bias. There is no "best", only what is the most logical option for that individual wheeler, based on what they do with their rig.
