8.8 rear is quite durable, no need for a 9 inch unless it's an all out drag car

I was looking into the 9 inch rear end also. But like mjr49 said 8.8 is just fine. I just got all my parts in the mail today. I went to summit racing and orderd the complete set. I think it was worth the price and got some great parts. If you want take a look at it.

Summit part number CMB-14-0072
