Thanks guys for all the information, I'm actually going with a brand new 8.8 for a F-150 because I want to be different than most everyone up here in Michigan. I just ordered my new Welders Triangulated rear suspension brackets (top and bottom), now I'm looking for a new det of large Torino style 9" housing ends, I have a new rear disc brake set-up for a 9".

This will be a very strong housing when I'm done with it (welding the tubes inside and out) Moser axles and posi will be purchased once I have my housing finished.

Thanks again everone for all the information.
