Good info Ron.
I installed Moser axles and the c-clip eliminator kit a long time ago. As I see it the downside (handicap) is the limited options for rear disc brakes.
Budget wise I'll probably end up installing big Ford flanges on my 12 bolt for braking performance more than increased strength.
Unless I can find a real good deal on a 9" as the lower pinion placement would also improve my drivetrain angles.
