The brace is recommended if you do a lot of drag (or street) racing...

i think changing the gear oil is the same as a solid rear axle, remove the drian and fill from the driveshaft side, im not real sure on this one

Looks like a legit 3 hours, you could prob get this done in less than an hour if you had a lift at your convienence

As for Mike and his 1 car garage??? ya.. I'll have my shop throw it in there next time its in there... material and labor probably 250..

but thanks for the info, you've sold me on the idea.
