3rd Gen & 4th Gen Rear Ends
I Just Put A 4th Gen Rear On My Iroc Yesterday And It Looks More Tacky Than I Thought With The Extra 2 Inches On Each Side, & I Heard You Can Take The Disc Breaks Off Of A 4th Gen. Rear By Unbolting Those 4 Bolts In The Back Of The Brakes And Remove The Drum Brakes The Same Way On The 3rd Gen Rear End & Put The 4th Gen Disk Brakes On The 3rd Gen Rear End, Is That True? Also 2 Questions, 1. Is It A Pain In The *** To Do? & 2. Is The 3rd Gen Rear End As Strong As The 4th Gen Rear? My 3rd Gen Has A After Market Axel & Also 373 Gears, Im Wondering That Because I Plan On Doing An LS1 Swap So If I Can Use My 3rd Gen Rear End & Just Swap Out The Drum Brakes To Disc Brakes That Would Be Great! Haha

i'll answer what i can.
the rear ends are basically of equal strength, though if you have better axles in the third gen, that one is probably stronger
