The axle has been in there for 10K miles (the housing) I had trouble at first with the 3rd member but all that is good now.
I am concerned I will have shock issues with the 02 LS1 F body rear disc conversion as it looks as if the calipers will interfere with the shocks...Not sure yet.
I had to relocate the parking brake cable bracket inbound 2.5" and will have to relocate my brake hose mounts as well as all that is moving to the center.
Also - I have had a frustrating slow leak/drip from the left axle house (31" moser axles in 9" housing...the combo bearing/seal unit oozes a little gear oil.
Looks like I'll have a local shop cut the housing and ship the axles back to Moser for cutting.
I have been getting minimal rub with the C5 rear rims in the stock fenders, nothing to make much notice of. I'm concerned as I move it all around and push the envelope again that we get everything dead on...or I'll have a problem. Just a little bit off in/out will cause problem.
I'm looking at powdercoating swatches right now and have to settle on that before my rim decision can move forward.
