They are 2 entire different types of rearends. The 9 bolt is much stronger than the 10 bolt, but the 10 bolt is cheaper than the 9 bolt. More information on the 9 bolt is at www.9bolt.com

10 bolt and 9 bolts are realitively the same in strength. You will hear good and bad about both. But the biggest difference about the two is that the 9 bolt has 'press-on' style axle bearings and no "C-Clip's". Other than that, they are VERY similar....
