Thanks for the comments....It really is a nice piece, regardless of price.
Engine guy called me yesterday (which is different than me always calling him) and said that I should be able to pick it up this Friday....we'll see about that....

Brakes included makes the price much more concivable. It should be buillit proof! but DAMN more in the rear axle then most spend on a trans.
She sure is sexy and no concerns like with the 10 bolt you were going to run.
Madman: are you serious? all of what you said seems logical but leaving raw metal sounds crazy.

Aint nothing wrong with a $6k rearend build.
Depends on the shop, location, overhead, labor rate, quality of components, etc.
It's a lot more than what 99% of you guys are used to, but it's within "normal" to have a rearend setup like this if you plan on making serious power.
It may be overdone, but just like a fuel system or transmission, it's better to go overboard.
When I had my truck done, I knew how much power and where I wanted to be, so a 9" with all the goodies in it was decided on.
I can't remember the cost of the rearend, but I'm sure it was up there.
not trying to jack your thread, but here's my setup, well done, strong and worth every penny; hadn't given up in 2 years of abuse, with a 1.31 sixty.
And we know trucks are heavy, so it requires something like this.
I'm now more than confident the rearend will hold when releasing the tbrake; that's something I couldn't say before this.

There's a lot of quick trucks in them making.
Sure, let's line them up, we all know turbos are faster than belt driven heat pumps anyway, hahah

Weight wise I can tell you this...when I shipped the guts out of my old one, I added the weight of shipping the axles, brakes, gears and posi then weighed the housing by itself....added it up and it was around 270lbs. In comparison, I can pick this one up complete no problem by myself.
Allen, you better get bigger turbos. lol
