Hi,
I have a 12 bolt rear end. I was wondering If I can get a full spool and gears lower than 4.56's(lowest I've seen) for it. Is there any differance between the 12 bolt truck and 12 bolt car?

Thanks TJ
:confused:

The Truck is different than the Pass. Car unit. The pinions are different dia. Jegs has listed to a 5.38 for the Truck. 6.14 for the Pass. Richmond Gear lists a Spool for either. Best bet would be to get a C-Clip eliminator kit, or convert to Ford or Olds bearings & ends to have positive axle retention in case of a break. Unless you are going to spend the $$$ for a full float kit.

you would be better off $$ wise to go with a D60 if you are going to go all out. They are millions out there I just talked the X wifes husband out of one, I picked up a 14 bolt, D60 and D44 all eight lug for $200.
