Anybody have any thoughts on a lighter yet stronger rear axle than the AMC 20? If I could drop 50lbs off it and be a bit stronger I would be happy. 50lbs may be hard though considering I think we are only talking about around 200lbs to start... But it is hope to get some weight off the back.
My thought is a Ford 9" with an aluminium third member. I saw the Currie aluminium centre section option but was a bit nervous about it. However it is hard to get weights. I asked Currie just hoping they could give me some numbers but didn't have anything to give me. I figure Ford is a good hope since it isn't a cast iron housing but welded steel centre section. Would be great if somebody made a good chromoly housing that wasn't built to be stronger than the standard but built to be the same strength thus lighter.
Other options Ford 8.8? Dana 44 lighter or heavier?
Thoughts?
Thanks
