Default Anybody make a narrow diff "kit"??

Got a 03 silvy and was wondering if anybody makes a narrow diff "kit" that would just be a "bolt it" deal.

What do you mean a narrowed diff kit? You want a full narrowed rearend that's bolt in? I'm sure someone would make you one but you'd be better off to use your rearend and have it done. Moser might make a bolt in 9" now.

What type of rear are you looking for?
9"
Dana 60
8.5/8.6"


I saw on this site that there was a complete drop in rear axle assembly, but I think it was for teh 88-98 GMT400 trucks.

peace

Wanting to narrow the diff to run a wheel with less off-set and more of a "lip"

Sevrall company's sell a Line up bar with rings to narrow the housing. Then you would have to get the axles shortened

Here is a shot to put some things in perspective here. You might be able to get away with a couple of inches on both sides... but not much else. I have helper bags... and that leaves even less to work with.
