This 8.5" rear end that I built is totally silent on coast... the 7.5" that I had 'professionally built' had a whine on coast from day one... first drive no noise. I can feel the ever so slight reduction from 3.55 to 3.42. A little bit less leap. The new bushings on the rear control arms are so smooth, it makes me want to do the fronts now.
Amazing what new parts, attention to detail, and "blueprinting" stuff does to make your ride easier.
