care to elaborate on this?well after figuring out how much money it was going to be to work over my rear suspension with bushings, adjusters, rear steer eliminators, diff, moly axles.... it was going to be plenty of $$ and i don't want to have any chances of issues with an axle/joint breakage... tired of using only the inside 2" of my 10" tire too
So i picked up a new delux grannys 8.8 setup
See how i like it i guess, will be nice to get a 315 in the stock fender without notching the trailing arm too
i will weigh both the stock and granny setup with pics so we will see the actual weight difference too
will be quite the combo with a live axle and the Tein Flex coilovers, haha
this is a torque arm setup , so i wont bind like a 4 link or ladder bar setup and allow some body roll
this is the setup of the diff
-mustang 8.8 rear
-billet "Torino" style 9" housing ends
-5 lug 5 on 4-1/2" pattern w/ 2.60" center pilot
-forged 9" style 31 spline axles
-o-ring style 9" axle bearings and retainers
-3.27 ratio, 31 lightweight spoolyep... mullet me, but now i wont break anything

Should have made all the bends out of pie cuts. Would have made 34.72hp more.
JK looks good

ha, ya i pondered that.... but i don't have the required skillz
Welded up my downpipe today, figured i would show you guys how i weld all my exhaust stuff.... This is with MIG (wirefeed) I trigger it and can keep a nice hot puddle without getting too hot on the thin aluminized tubing and yet have just the right amount of penetration on the inside.... gives it an almost TIG appearance
I didn't TIG my V-band flanges on the DP because they are mild steel and not SS like on the up-pipes
no brushing or grinding there, that is just how it looks when i get done, minus wiping it off with a rag.... start and stop right in the middle of the picture too
-
Damn, that looks really good for MIG.

Looks good zac, for mig that is....:icon_geek:
