Hey dude, You want a Jag rear, go with a Jag rear! Its your ride, Do it! As I've said, I set them up on occassions, they're not bad, Personally, I love the look of them....and I actually like the ride. However, I'm into the Big Honkin' Solid rear look....
They aren't hard to setup, but you gotta pay attention and do it right! Just look at Lee's rear, its a work of art, and you see Exactly how to ste it up by looking at it. Pumpin centered and leveled, pivot arms Centered, leveled. And the swing arms....the same. Its cool!
Weight is within 45 lbs. of each other....what the 9 in Has is bulk in the ring and pinion, the carrier and the axles. The Jag has more components, 4 shocks, pivot tubes which are hollow, and the 1/2 shafts. Drums vs the disc's, theres not much to worry about if your thinking about sprung weight....go with what you want and what makes you happy!
Hey, Mine has a blown 392 Hemi, a turbo 400 adapted to it with a ford 9 in. out back. Centerlines with Hoosiers (sprint car tires) out back. I've got over 600 horses....I don't need that much....nor can I use all of it. I build those motors for my living....I had some of the parts, got a good deal on the rest, you get a decent suspension and a little bit of motor in one of these....it can get scarey....I'm not a race car driver, I'm a builder. Driving 200-300+ mph in the 1/4 scares the bejesus outta me...can't do it, won't do it. BUT, nothing stops me from hoppng in a car if I can get comfortable in it, and pulling the pin and shutting it down after about 200-300 ft! That way, I can feel exactly whats happening....
I just wanted something outrageous, something that I could just plane boil the tires off it if I wanted to....Go from 0-60 in just a few seconds!
Hey dude, want the jag rear, do the jag rear, we'll help ya out with the info! Look at Lee's ride! Its a work of Art!
