i figure now its coming down to choosing an axle that can handle both loads, the 9" is basically bullet proof as far as throwing hp in front of it. then again i fear burning bearings if i haul, has anyone had a 9" built using better bearings?

i have no knowledge of the gm 14 bolt rear, is that the one under the later model 3/4ton + trucks?

the loads i handle arent astounding or anything, i just want to feel safe which is why im torn between the 3/4 ton ford axle (10.25 or whatever size it is) for hauling capacity and the 9" for their ability to take abuse and like it. i know some girls like that! LOL

i'll read that article you posted code, its looking like i could very well build it myself BUT i dont have the good housing on hand.
