I love those big subs. Keep your eyes open for a 14 bolt rear. Those 36's are going to be tough on the ten bolt. At least they were on mine. Congrats on the build and remember.............if it's not broken, fix it till it is.

Happy motoring

Ya im seeing if i can find a 14b sf 6 bolt so i wont have to swap out the rims, im on a college budge so slow it goes. I just picked up so flowmasters that my buddy was going to throw out so i will weld those up tomorrow morning.

the 14SF will help alot.

Stay off the throttle and don't put lockers in the front axle, and you should make it live for a while.
