Never in my life would I have thought it would come to this

Last 8.75 Slowpar rear I tried to use had a bent housing. Why use a 45 year housing when a new, stronger 9" can be had for less $$? Last I checked gear selection for the Slowpar housing is limited compared to the 9". Dana 60....now THAT is a porker. Always chuckle when I see the chest thumping Slowpar faithfuls say "keep it Slowpar, get a Dana 60"....hmmm...Dana is, and always has been to the best of my knowledge, an aftermarket company. First generation Broncos all had some sort of Dana products, at the minimum the Dana 20 t-case. Damn near every Ford 4×4 has a Dana front axle. Full size Broncos had the 44, Rangers had a 28 or 35. Hell, if I remember right the Dana 60 was even used under some GM vans and pickups...
