Does your housing have provisions for a 3 channel ABS system?

Assuming it is the Spohn pro series you are talking about yes it will. The only thing that might be different is the tube size. Which our tubes are 3inch so you might need a different installation kit front spohn depending on what you have now..

How hard would it be to fit a 2" narrowed Fabbed 9" in my car, thats lowered somewhere around two inches?

True bolt in housing? Can the spring perches be left off? How hard would it be to run my current LG swaybar?

Thanks in advance
Rob

A competitor told me differently. It took 3 weeks to get an answer out of them... I am low, and the gas tank is close....

How much does your fabbed assembly weigh? (including gear set/axles etc.) I'd just be looking to do an Eaton posi setup most likely.

As for the rear wheels, I'll be having 2 new sets made. With a much larger dish...

I must be missing something if they told you it wont work. Care to elaborate to why it wont work? The housings loaded with strage parts are around 180lbs. We are assembling one with all moser stuff so I will have the weight on that soon..

Do you make one that is a true bolt-in with the 4 channel ABS using stock brakes. Also, do you sell them completely set up with gears and all. I'd definitely be interested in one if you do.

Their main concerns were my gas tank. I should have been more specific. I'm actually lowered 2+ inches. But not much more than that. I've raised the car up a bit since I last checked.

I run coil overs all the way around, that's why I want to ditch the spring perches. I'd also be interested in having you guys mount up my swaybar before shipping it out.

I'll be running a big dog set of Mov-It brakes in the rear. I don't forsee any problems with how the brake caliper mounting brackets are positioned correct?

Pm me a ballpark price for the narrowed fabbed 9" with installed swaybar and say an Eaton posi 3.08 gear set. Doesn't have to be exact, just a rough estimate. I'll get back to you guys when I'm ready to order the new rear wheels, brakes and your rear.
