  • 12 bolt or 9"

    Looking to buy a 12 bolt or 9". Preferably a posi rear rather than a spool. I'd like 4 channel to keep my ABS and TCS but its not essential I guess, 3.73s would also be perfect. Let me know if you guys or gals see or hear of anything.

      I have an auto, a 12 bolt should hold just fine no sense in spending any more cash.

          Also wanted to note I'm not asking which one, I'm looking to buy either.

            Strange engineering's dana 60 is acuallty cheaper then their 12 bolt but it's a lot of extra weight you dont need

              Jeff, I know you commented on that one for sale on craig's list. I called about that one. It is brand new but doesnt have axles. True track i believe. Maybe you can talk him down and see what the costs are of installing 3.73s and axles. Probably more trouble than it is worth though.

                  I may call the guy and ask, it is a shop that has the rear isn't it?

                    I would say a 33 spline 12 bolt would be good enough for a non trans braked auto.
                    I haven't had any issues with mine since I put the solid pinion spacer in.
                    I will see if it holds in the spring with 28/10.50s ET drags on a 5500rpm lauch though

                    Can you get a 4 channel 9 inch now? I know you couldn't before.

                            Best of both worlds, get a 9 bolt. But remove 1 bolt from your current rear end and voila! Killer combo! HAHA.
