Mini tubs, advice, do's & don'ts?

Big day today, lowered the car down over both wheels and tires. First time I've even seen a real tire under the car in 12 years.
I'm very happy with it. Gonna have to do some frame cutting to get it sitting where I want but that dont phase me.

9 inch housing. I ordered the back brace today. I figure I should weld the brace on before I have the flanges welded? This way if the axle warps or is already warped then the guys at the rear end shop can fix it in the jig?

The tube is nice and think so I dont for see any warp happening.

I count 35 spline so I think I ordered the right one?

I measured 54 3/4 inch "drum to drum."
That's the number I give to the axle company correct? They can figure it out from there right?

YEAH 35 spline is what you want. If you were going to put 14x32 bite on it and really best the piss out of it I'd say 40 spline but you'll be golden with 35.


NICE
