I went thru all this when putting my Charger together. It was no contest when it came to price.

Picked up TWO truck Dana 4.10 geared diffs for 200 clam$. I cut em down, added full floating hubs/spindles, discs/calipers, bearings/seals. Strange yoke, 5/8" studs, main cap studs, a Detroit Locker, new gears and CM 35 spline floater axles - It cost me a tad less than half of what it would have cost to build a similarly equipped 9" over here.

Like a lot of things, there IS a substantial price hike on 9" parts simply because of how popular the rear end is.

Nothing wrong with the 9" but in my application it will be fine and the Dana will take anything I can throw at it and come back for more smile
