Default Built rear end. FINALLY! PICS

All this stuff took forever! I just got most of it in yesterday. It will all be going in on Jan 12. Oh yea, and I not pictured is FRPP 4,10's and used 31 spline Cobra diff(to be rebuilt using parts below).

Here we go
Moser 31 spline axles







TrickFlow rear end girdle. With stud supports and all new hardware!



FRPP Differential rebuild kit CARBON FIBER(for my used Cobra Diff)



FRPP Gear install kit, axle bebuild + shims, etc.



TC Sports 5/8" spacers for skinnies.



Had to grind a little bit []









Heres a pic of the old spacers (MM 1 in). It didn't stick out this bad, but it did a little. Now its tucked under there quite nicely.




And here's with the new.





Here's my new (to me) Nitto 555R 275/60/15's. I love them to death. Launching sucks, but they grab hard on shifts.

I have no clue. I have never heard a concrete "rating" for them. I know when repacked with carbon fiber clutches, and a strong S spring, they do VERY well. As you probably already know, it is a REBUILDABLE unit, unlike an Auburn or something that's 1 and done!

Nice I love Weld 5 stars.... I still think we should have swapped your IRS for my Live months ago!
I was glad to get rid of it man. I wish we could have set something up. I paid WAY too much for that shop to swap me parts + labor!

dude thats sweet :] thats next after my transmission thanks for sharing!
Sadly, my transmission is most likely going to be next to go,after I strap some ET Drags on her this winter

I have LCA's, UCA's, Poly and Spherical Bushings, and driveshatf loop ready to go on the car also when the rearend gets rebuilt in 2 weeks. I need to call and ask the guy that's helping me do the work if he can weld. If so, I'll get the TQ boxes welded as well as the axle tubes. I am also getting some Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks from the same guy I got the Nitto's from. Then add SFC, and I'll be set. I hope
