    why would you buy 3.25 setup pucks? I'd use the ****tiest case possible for a jig.

    Humor me, but, I assume I need the new case to use the alignment pucks and rod. Do the pucks just take the place of the carrier bearings?

    Ya, the pucks will replace your carrier bearings. To use Creighton's jig you'll either have to use the new case with 3.25" OD carrier bearings (assuming that's what you're getting) or you (we) will have to get a set of pucks made for the small bearing case that came with our axles. Just for planning...you may want to measure your carrier bearing race OD. There were two sizes stock - 2.892" and 3.063".

    I talked to moser. The guy couldn't give a definite answer, but was sure that the material they use was less than 1/8" thick.

    kinda, I'm confortable running 35s on it, but the future looks like 37s, and the 9" will be more than up to the task. Also, if i'm going to change over anyways i'd rather not blow the amc 20 up and not be able to sell it for anything. If i keep it in nice shape than I can recoup half the price of building the 9".

    Moser Engineering 35 spline shafts and spool
    4.11 gears
    Trussed/Shaved
    8.8 brakes
    Pinion guard

    My housing doesn't taper so I can't help you there sorry.
    I'll either going to re-use the ends or get some from flem.
    I'm hoping to get the alignment pucks and rod from creighton, who I heard had has them now.
    I'm not sure what kind of truss I want to do either. Im thinking rear facing instead of on top because of the complications of spring perches and antiwrap bar brackets.

    I just tore mine apart today, it was from a '82 f-150, had 31 spline shafts, crappy a$$ drum brakes and 2.97 gears in the thirdmember. All of which I'll be selling.

    Sounds like what you're wanting to build...

    I don't think so, its not the right width. So I would still have to chop it, get new ends, and custom shafts. Thats $1600-$1700 + shipping when its all done. I can do the whole thing myself for $1400.
    These are the parts I was thinking. They might not be as high quality as moser but there still a d*ck load strong.

    Sounds like it's just the 3rd member.

    If you're not going to go moser stuff, go talk to Jonathon at Eaker Performance. He sells a lot of 9" stuff and can get you everything you need.
