Just the right time to get a 12 bolt!
Moser or Strange makes good ones.

Yes. A 12 bolt... However I did see a incredible 9inch on a Z not to long ago. It sure looked like a heavy duty piece of equipment...

I have been happy with the Moser 12-bolt. OTOH, I would have bought a Strange due to their history and excellent rep. However, there was a 6-8 week wait when I called them and Moser shipped in 3 days!

A good 9" is maybe stronger, but is overkill for anything you or I are going to do. I would way to consider it if you have a tubbed car and are going to run a 30+" tire or something like that. You aren't going to break a 12-bolt with any tire you can fit on a non-tubbed 4th gen. And the 9" is heavier with more parasitic drag.

So I'd say get a Moser or Strange 12-bolt.

Cool

My Strange 12 Bolt was a painless install. Out with the old ... in with the new!
