i searched google and around here for a bit hoping to find info on converting a 9" pinion to accept a flange (or convert the driveshaft) so i can replace my worn out 8.8. the truck is a 95 f150. should i even bother with the work for a 9" or just search for an 8.8?

Try Jesse at Hi angle driveline, Pretty sure he sells a flange for the 9"

Why not just take the flange yoke off of the driveline and bolt the driveline up to the 9" like most common setups?
