Steve, the 9-inch would be my center-section of your choice, certainly, but I wanted to leave it wide open for others. With the advent of the True Hi-9, this chunk is even better-suited for front axle duty: http://www.truehi9.com/ You can go 40-spline on a 9 before you start to get into the trophy truck side of the world, with Chrissman chunks. Heck, I haven't even STARTED to get creative -- if you're willing to spool (ugly IMHO for a front application, differential limitations go away) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Fred, what's the model for the 'baby mog' that uses one size smaller than 404s?
