    [SOLD] A body 8 1/4 rear end

    torsion bar re install, too high too low

    Thanks! I will bring this with me to the shop. Took it around the block, disc brakes are sweet. The shop recommended I get it close to ride height (my preference) as possible, kinda hard without a level driveway... Now I gotta save for that Dana!

    71 scamp build, need direction

    Thanks for the advice 1970Duster. I think I'll go the 8.25 route. So the only mod I will have to do is driveshaft length? Also, I found out the Hotchkis suspension kit requires 3" axle tubes so the 7.25 would have been a no go, does the 8.25 have a 3" axle tube?
