My Rear End Build *Pics*
 

Pulled the rear end out, had it dipped and painted it up. Put all new bearings in, 3.55s, new clutches. New Lakewood upper and lower control arms in. And oh my goodness what a difference in performance and feel. I love it! I would definitely recommend it!

Left the quad shocks out as you can see.

Id estimate the total cost to be around $1200 excluding labor. It was a fun project and i am very happy with the result! Only regret was i wish i put more then 2 coats of paint on the rear end.

Interesting thing was some of the barrings where the same as the ones used in my dads chevy 12 bolt rear ends. We pulled them out and my dad recognized the part #.

Very nice

Do you have a break down on costs?
Did you use air tools?
How long did you take?


This would have been an awesome DIY!

That looks much better and x2 on the above questions-I am a reporter tehehe

black coupes!!!!!!



wicked rear of yours u got!

The cost goes up quickly, doesn't it.

It looks like you have done a nice job.

Excellent :tup.I bet she feels new.
This is one thing i plan to do in the near future......i hope.I would like to somewhat bulletproof the rear,i only half assed it for now with axles,control arms,and diff cover,but rather do the whole centre section with bigger splined axles,and welded up tubes.Plus toss in a set of 4.30's,and ditch the 4.10's. :D
