If you are simply going drag racing and don't mind losing the cornering of your irs, get a copy of national dragster, there are a ton of supplers in there for just that set up.

I have a 9" in mine, with a 4 link and coil overs. My car is a street car, but I mainly drag race it. I have Strange 35 spline axles, spool, Strange ultra case, and a Mark Williams MMC aluminum driveshaft. It gives me total piece if mind, and nothing breaks anymore. I bought about everything thru S&W Racecars.I can send you pictures if you give me an Email address.

I based my 9" project off of Dave's (Hooked Up) car. It is a cool way to do it, and you don't have to back half the car. And adds alot of strength to it. Dave.. your the man
