Title: 3.5:1 9inch
Post by: ShaneJ on October 10, 2010, 08:14:18 PM

Just bought myself what I think is a 3.5:1 9 inch diff for $470!!!!!

Would this be of any use behind a 173?

I think it would be a 100% better than the factory ones

Those 173s are beasts of motors shane :)

More importantly do you end up with all the same wheel stud sizes - its a pain having to carry two different spares.

What I like about the banjo & 9inch is if you dont like the ratio you just get anthoer centre.

Dano its an F100 diff and is 1650mm from face to face.

Warren I'm going to redrill the axles to standard Ford pattern which will match my front brake upgrade.
