[HWYSTR455]

One thing to note, depending on the housing center section design, it's possible, with the pinion centered, that you may have issues when you try to do a 3" exhaust. That also depends on the type of exhaust, due to how tight the U bend over the axle is.

Also, due to the fact that the axle tubes are larger in diameter, you will have to modify the spring retainer/shock plate, since the holes will need to be further apart.

I've run both 9" and 12 bolts in multiple cars, and if I had a choice, I would just go for a Moser 12 bolt. The center sections are new castings, and they use thick wall axle tubes, making it pretty indestructible. Cost difference is nominal.

When ordering, have the hybrid axles ends installed that use the 9" bearing with a 12 bolt flange. You will be glad you did later on when it comes to brakes, etc.

I also suggest narrowing 1" on each side, so disc rotors don't push the wheels/tires out.
