Considering this swap in the future as well. The good thing about the 9” over the OEM Diff housing is of course strength, but also the ability to have a lot more gear ratios to choose from. I would think a higher gear set could improve drivability/street ability a decent amount. The days of blasting down the freeway at 75-80 mph for 100+ miles is probably over once you go to a glide, but completely doable on shorter spirited trips around the block. Hopefully you’ll get some valid responses, curious as well.
