yeah 9 inches are cheap to build right. just a good nodular 3rd with gears, lockers and pinion support is over 1k

You're kidding, right? I'll have less than 1 k in my whole 9 inch. Most of that cost is TTB parts/ Summit wish list
Budget 9 inch summary:
Axle $100
Yukon 1000 hp case $250
Detroit $150
Truss $120
Weld on brake brackets $40
Rotors $50
Calipers (had them) Free!
Bearings $100
Gears $125
Ring gear bolts $15
Crush sleeve and shims $15
Pinion Guard $60
Total $925
Add $100 if decide to go with a Daytona pinion support (which I probably will)
Add $500-1000 when I go 35 spline, but when I do this I'll more than likely be putting everything in a $1500+ axle housing
Maybe I'll edit the first post and keep a running expense tab, I bet that could get interesting!
have you looked in to explorer brakes with redrilled rotors? that weld on stuff is junk
...
explorer stuff won't fit with out a lot of machining to the rotor and axle flange to get everything to fit.

you got a plasma make it fit. On a full float the rotors press to the back of the axle flange that would make up the difference

Because travis doesn't want to drill a hole in the rotor to be able to get to the axle retaining nuts. The explorer rotor is 6 1/2" ID inside the hat and the 9" axle flange is just over 7" OD. The rotor he has works fine, it's just fitting the caliper brackets that's a pain in the ass.

what about redrilled expedition rotors?
...
None of the expedition rotors have a deep enough hat to go back far enough to clear the bearing race housing anbd backing plate crap.

it shouldn't have to clear it, you'd be using the exped backing plate and parking brake
...
This must be the first time anyone has ever put disk brakes on a 9". Ever.
