Currie Enterprises' Third Member Buildup (http://www.classictrucks.com/tech/1104clt_currie_enterprises_rearend_build/index.html)With modern engines available such as GM's LS series 350 and 454 engines or Ford's Lightning 5.0, 4.6, and 5.8L motors being a popular choice for today's truck enthusiast, the ever-growing need to beef up our rear axle is a big one. As the horsepower and torque are greatly increased, the life expectancy of the stock rear end looks very grim. This is not saying that you couldn't improve on your stock axle's internals but, if it's not mass produced, prices and parts might be out of your reach. This is where a choice of what axlehousing comes into play, like GM's 12-bolt, Ford's 9-inch, and Dana 44 and 60. Among these axles a wide array of gear sets are available to choose from, but the Ford 9-inch has been one of the most popular choices when it comes to price and availability of parts-plus they are very strong.
