Im putting a ferd 9 in mine due to the fact i have a posi dropout with 4.11s. And the fact im building a fab housing for a class prject. Its lighter than an 8.8 and stronger wahahahaha. When i get the money i would like to get an aluminum case for it. All together i got $400 in it. plus how ever much it costs for a three link and driveshaft and discs.

Has anyone fabricated a three link? and if so how much did it cost?

Rears are 245/35-17 Falken FK451 tires on 17x9" Advan RG wheels.
Fronts are 225/35-17 tires on 17x8" wheels.
The Falkens are DOT street tires,nothing race ready or fancy.They are great in the rain (AA traction) but still handle very well for a long wear street tire.Youd typically see them on a big sports sedan like a Benz or BMW.
