This is a good thread with a lot of the pros and cons of each. After reading that it seams like the best way to go is a 12 bolt with big bearing torino 9" ends
Thanks for the help

So given a choice i would use a 12 bolt in almost all applications. Lets say every application I could use the 12 bolt I would use it. There are some suspension systems like 3 link, systems with watts link that need to use a 9" for bracktrey reasons.

If you did a G Link, only the Fabricated 9" is available jig welded and readily to bolt in. The best budget system is to get a bare 12 bolt and get the weld on bracket option on the G Link. For for a double throw down 12 bolt and G Link your right at $4800 and you have the complete rear suspension.

Default 9"

Just my opinion but I like the 9" allot better. Easier to work on and allot tougher.
If you are converting just make sure you clean the tubes real well before you weld. Keep the heat down to eliminate warp-age and keep the tubes clamped well until everything is cooled down.

Dude.... that's suspension bounce not a power pull! You're lifting the wrong wheel for a torque pull... that pulls the DRIVER front NOT the passenger front...

Check out Todd's driver front lift -- that's POWER and HOOKED UP....


EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

LOL, Yeah thats funny, a suspension bounce 25' away from the apex. Wonder how high I was after hitting the curb of the apex there, LMAO.

So you must mean that was my landing after the bounce, oh wait, maybe I hit a rock with the front right and then the rock shot out of the picture right when it was taken, ROFLMAO

By the way, that picture was taken in 2002 and the car and myself have progressed quite a bit since then. Looking forward to seeing you on the road course. I'll be at Buttonwillow the 28th, oh, also in June on the 5th and 6th, or you can find me at the Spectre341Challenge, come find me.

Sorry -- but I had to point out that carrying your right front is FAR FAR different than pulling your left front...

Why? Obviously two different circumstances.
