which is stronger 8" toyota or 9" ford

no excuses · Oct 17, 2006

revamping the rear of my toy and thinking of going to 9" ford (dont bother with the go 14 bolt or 60 :flipoff: :kissmyass: ) Thinking of going 35 spline in the 9" with a spool, staying fullwidth and going disc brakes. So will it be worth it to go to the 9".

If so my rear 8" will be for sale start the bidding :flipoff: :haha: :haha: .

You just need to get rig of those tin can axles stan.....

But the 9" is stronger. Not only due to its size but the pinion head is also supported my a bearing...

Since the 14 is out the only 1/2 ton axle good enough for your application is the 9 inch
the d-shaft angle suffers but they put the pinion there for a reason

Other than that it's the

oo: for a lightweight rig with 4cyl power and 40s'

Brad, is urs a big pinion or a big outer bearing?? Also are u running a Ncase or just a standered case? I can get (free) a big outer (tapered roller) bearing truck housing so thats what I am looking at going with..

But those put you up in the ballpark of a well built 60..

It's a nodular big bearing (3.25") case with daytona pinion

As for the actually outer wheel bearings...mine is a full float from a Dana 60

The only reason for a tru-hi9 is if you need it to correct driveline angles.

I've been running my low-pinion 3rd's w/o issues of getting denied on an obstacle becuase of a low pinion setup...nor have they ever broken from taking a hit.

They are both crap. Ford nines Suck........If you really look at the total cost to make a 9" reasonably good you could have Mog axles. When you find them they are Reasonably priced and have superior ground clearance. Robin is the only one smart enough to Do it right if you going to spend big money. I would rather have a dana 60 over a nine anyday.:stirpot:
