GM Dirt Dobbers 03 suburban build

[White Stripe]

g80 parts and the driver side spider gear... So the ring and pinion looks good so now I have a dilemma rebuild the 10 bolt with a differnt carrier (non g80) or go ahead with the 9.5" 14 bolt semi float plan?

I would go with 9.5 personally.

9.5 on the way... 99 k2500 8 lug though... plan on swapping the axle shafts out with heavy half's from Richmond gear. it already has 4.10 gears open diff supposedly which is what I want over the G80. I plan on installing a lunchbox locker in if it is a open carrier... well as soon as i can find one.. seems like offroad parts for the 9.5" are hard to come by. anyone have any leads on places to look?

Little drive way flexing. As high as I could go without the stack pushing over.

Blew the 10 bolt up in less than 300 miles doing hot rod crap. Building a semi float 14 bolt to replace it now. Cut brackets and backing plate brackets off the 10 bolt to weld to the sf14. The sF 14 is out of a gmt400 heavy half ton. I will be using the brakes from the 10 bolt on the 9.5 also.
