help the diff people are trying to get me to switch over to a 9 inch. What are the pros and cons of a 9inch vs 8 3/4 Its more about the weight of the car and the power you run.. this have been discussed many times over... myself I run a 8 3/4 in one car and a 9" in the other.. the 8 3/4 in the race car BUT its light.. and the 9" in my street rod.. they all have there place.. if you go with either I would recommend a back brace on them.. load bolts help the 8 3/4... also a MW cap on the load side helps

We all know that there is a larger gear selection for the 9" but lets hear some FACTS on what he has before we get carried away at spending HIS money.. sounds like he has a 8 3/4 now but we know nothing..... so to the OP.. what do you have.. fill in some blanks here

9" is a good bit stronger. There are more parts available for it also.

which is better and cheeper 8 3/4 or 9 inch Either one of these can be made better but then it won't be cheaper.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Oohhhso you come here to start fight. Finish him. Seriously though you should give intended use and power weight of car manual or automatic transmission with our without trans brake.. Maybe you need a Dana 60 instead. He hasnt been back to give any info.. I think his plan was to start some BS.. and he has 5 posts

If you are spending the cash to narrow an 8 3/4 I would consider a Dana and be done.
