any rear end truely a bolt in?

I was wondering if there is a company that makes a truely bolt in rear axle without having to change everything else around it like brakes, driveshaft,...etc. thanks. rear disk for me.

Sure...Currie makes a 9" bolt-in. Moser makes a both a 9" & 12-bolt direct bolt-ins. Nothing uncommon about it.

Re: any rear end truely a bolt in?

also depends on what brakes you have, if you have drums, you will not find a rear that will accept them. discs however, you are good to go. But if you are going through with the axle swap, why not upgrade everything?

the 12 bolts and the 9" rears bolt in, the dana60 needs a shorter driveshaft.

Re: any rear end truely a bolt in?

well i am thinking about it.........i just don't have that much money up front to do everything brakes, driveshaft, added support for the axle, etc. I am wondering if i even need to go the route of entire new axle. I am looking to go 400-450hp. so maybe just some new gears and some strengthening and thats it. it would be much cheeper that for sure. lol. what do you think?

if you dont plan to use slicks and beat on the car really hard at the track, the 10 bolt will last you a good long time
