Gandalf,

We are working on this "Retro-fit Kit" now. It will be identical to the one pictured in our original post, with the exception of the approx. 1.5" extension on the steel flange that welds to the axle tube.

We will start a "interest list" soon on this thread so please stay tuned!

These are gonna be super cool for the guy that already has a housing/wheels/tires.

Thanks, Jay

Jay,

I'm curious what options actually exist for a housing which I already own. I'm a bit confused by what appear to be multiple options.

I have a housing which has the Ford big-end flanges on it. I haven't assembled this housing or purchased wheels or anything else yet, so I don't have those issues. I do have brackets mounted for the rear suspension components which I am going to use.

If I were willing to ship the housing to you, or one of your dealers, what of the GMR options would I have? It sounds like from this thread that there could be a way to do the semi-floating setup. What about your full floating setup? Can that be installed on a housing like this?

I may pursue one of these options before assembling and installing this rear axle. If you want, could you PM some pricing on these various options as well?

Thanx!

Hello carbuff,

Sorry for all the confusion. Given the scenario you have laid out......you have two choices and are in a prime position since you have not ordered wheels yet. Both scenarios could utilize your current housing.

(1) GMR "Standard" C6 Flange End Kit

*your WMS to WMS would be approx. 1" per side narrower than what you have now


(2) GMR "Full Floater" kit

*your wheel mount surface could remain as it is

YES we most certainly can install our FULL FLOAT kit as well. Both are nice setups, but only one is available currently if you are in a hurry, and that would be the Full Float kit. Both kits have their advantages, but hands down our Full Float kit will be the strongest option we have.

I will get you a quote, but will need some basic info.

What rear suspension do you run?

Do you run Mini-Tubs?

Do you have a rear brake kit in mind?

Are you wanting a parking brake?

Do you want us to quote you on axles?

Do you want us to quote 3rd member, if so what components?

*we can make recommendation if needed


Thanks, Jay

Jay,
Similar question. Mark Williams Enterprises is about 5 blocks away from my office. Can they do the install? Also can you Pm with a quote for your Strange standard housing and your fabbed 9" with this kit? This is a great option.

Thanks-Wes

Hello,

Thank you for your interest Wes, but at this time the only sources tooled correctly to fixture our GMR C6 "Hybrid" Kit would be us or any of our current GMR-TX System builders. As for your CO location we would be your closest bet demographically being in AZ.

Now are Mark Williams/Strange capable? ..... absolutely, it is just that the they do not have the fixturing to accomidate our specific component. For others to install our C6 Hybrid kit correctly they would have to invest time/money to manufacture fixturing. Not saying they won't, but doubt they would do this for free and at that point you may has well just have us or a current TX System builder perform the work. Who better to assemble this system than the maker and or regular builders of these type rears.

No problem, I will get you a quote ASAP but remember the pricing has not been set exactly on the C6 Hybrid Kit, so please just remember this may change.

I will need to know some info I have listed below. Please PM me this info along with your Full Name/Address/Email.

What vehicle?

What rear suspension do you run?

Will we be installing the bracketry?

Do you run Mini-Tubs?

Do you have a rear brake kit in mind?

Do you want us to quote you on axles?

Do you want us to quote 3rd member, if so what components?

*we can make recommendation if needed


Thanks, Jay
