I am very happy with the rear end.
Friend of mine helped a lot. Needed 3 of us to hold and install.
Everything fit pretty darn well. We installed LCA's, brackets and driveshaft too. While we had the rear out we dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump.

Driveshaft came from PST and has top quality components. Length was 42.625" from center to center.
LCA's and Panhard bar came from UMI Performance. Brackets are from Founder Performance. I ordered the rear from Jegs...Posi , 3:54...

Next was the test drive. We didn't hear any whine from the rear. There was no noticeable noice from the rod end/poly LCA's. Felt really good around town and on the highway. I was stoked!

Pix coming soon.

Hi Joe,

Happy to hear everything went smooth! Gives me hope for when I do mine.

Do you have the part number/information from Jegs? I am also looking to upgrade my rear end very soon. Did it come complete and ready to install?

Thanks,
Ray

You can have the rear price matched. Google the rear and find it for $2299 shipped. You will also need the billet caliper brackets. They charge and additional $100 if you buy them from Jegs with the rear. You need these. Yes, everything will come complete and ready to install.

Precision Drive Shaft Tech. sent me the shaft. 3" Steel with their upgraded trans slip yoke and 1350 series u joints. Price will be $380 with standard shipping.

So price will be around $2780 for everything listed above.

You will need a shim (1/8" washer) on the brackets to center the calipers on the rotors if you are reusing your stock setup.

Expect 5-6 weeks to your door...

Awesome, thank you very much. Do you get a choice of gears? I would like to get 3.45 gear ratio if possible. What gear ration are you running?
 
Looks great....s60 is a good choice. I went with the ford 9....I like the look of yours better. Feels good not to have to worry about a broken rear..doesn't it! I went with 3:25 gears and it spins like crazy...I thought I wanted 3:50 but I'm glad I listened to folks on here and went lower. Good luck!
