Full floating Ford 9"???

[LSCustoms]

Is there some type of special hub assembly that I would have to run on it :?:

I am trying to put a price sheet together to have this thing ready to bolt into the Regal :idea:

when you get that price sheet or build info, can you post here or pm me.. i am working on getting the 9" set up, but am slightly intimidated by the fact that I have never done a swap like this... want it to be as painless as possible... i also want to go with a wider rear tire... so dont know how much to shorten etc... would rather learn, and not spend a crazy amount of money just going to a shop and letting them figure it all out...

A wider rear tire isn't held back by the width of your rearend. It is limited because of the frame rails :idea: If the frame rails were not a factor, you would just have to play with the backspacing on the wheel and roll your fender a bit to get a really wide tire in there :idea:

oh... so i can do the swap with a stock wide rear end, and notch the frame rails? if so, then i can really get going on the rear end at least.. worry about the mod to the car later...

Typically, people will run a narrowed rearend when they are back-halfing a car. It allows for the monster 15" wide slicks 8)
