yeah no lockers both open but idk what i want to do next i want wider axles and upgrade my rear 8.8 to something bigger and do it all over again and 4 link the rear with foa and 3 link the front... i dont want to keep pouring cash in it if im going to be upgrading axles so idk what im going to do with her but thanks guys... i really want to do nine inch front and rear but thats a big chunk of change, any suggestions
Hi9's are cool as hell, but a D60 front and any FF rear is plenty of axle not to mentions thousands cheaper.
