Rear Question
« on: September 02, 2008, 08:35:43 pm »
Hey guys, it's been a while.  I had to get away from this project for a while - getting way to overwhelmed.  Now that I am recharged........I have a question.  Take a look at the following pictures - does this rear have positraction?




I know it is a 2.73:1 ratio.  Will this be able to pull say a 3000lb boat or should I change out the rear end? 

Thanks for the help - it feels good to be back ;D

That is a gov-loc BTW, a Eaton for a 12bolt will have springs on both sides.
This is the best pic I have:

This is great - we should have an archive of pictures to show the different rears and the differences in each.  This is a huge help to me. 

How about it guys (and gals) post your rear end pictures!!

Now get your minds out of the gutter - I don't want to see any mans butt :D :D
