you need abs adapters if you want to keep them. you need a new differential too. i use moser 31 splines with an auburn pro differential with 3.73 and a frpp girdle.

Get some good axles like Moser, Strange, or Superior. You will also need a 31 spline diff. The ford truck diff is a popular choice. I would go ahead and put some gears in the car if you haven't already.

I notice you are in Virginia Beach, check out Steen Racing, they do some nice work and are very close to you.

Agreed, do it right the first time, there is no sense in doing it half way the first time...

lol :thebirdma

so if you replaced the axles to 31 spline you'd also have to replace the diff. because of the difference in spline?
