Had the rear end rebuilt and also had new axels installed just to get it all done once and for all. All i can say is holly crap what a difference. Car feels faster and pulls. Im no speed freak but man did the gears make it feel like i gained alot of power. Anyhow just wanted to share if anyone gave a...
Have a good day cafords ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Reduce chasis flex and makes your car feel more stiff, as soon as you get those welded and hop into your car and make a slight turn you will feel the stiffness

If I recall, foxes with autos came with 3.08 or optional 3.27 gearing.
