The only 9" fronts are aftermarket like Currie.

No stock front 9"ers. Just aftermarket ones.

Diamond Axle sells a front 9", with Deadenbear 'C' already welded on. I think that they will build it to suit. IE: width, tube size and thickness, pass or drivers drop, ect.. Spendy though.

Or a Spidertrax 9". Cheaper, 65" wide, cut to length, weld on your own 'C's.

http://www.spidertrax.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.961/.f

Still debating on which one Im going to go with.

Yeah the spidertrax was what I was thinking of starting with, but then thought I would see if stockers ever had a housing I could start with as a choice.

I wont go agro like Avery but a new front will happen someday and if I start buying parts one at a time it wont be so bad when it does fully gernade and I have to do something.

Are you going to end up going Hi9 or the standard LP 3rd?

Not like it'll be cheap, but if you can get ahold of a matched set of front and rear toyota solid axles, they are pretty stout. I don't know prices, but I would imagine that they may be in the range of custom built ones since they're kinda hard to find and never go for cheap. People know that they're worth $$$.

Umm talking Housings sorry. That will fit any 9" housing yes. And that is one very conciderd 3rd set-up. That is of couse like noted, I win the lotto.

I heard so much crap about the truehi9 from currie and all, when I did a CJ front and rear 35sp setup last yr. I SURE wish I would have taken it for what it was, BS. After looking in to it (when I had the time that is) I found that not only is it a better 3rd then Currie's, but the staff is by far superior in character and demeaner..

The guy that post under truehi9 here and elsewhere I ahve to believe is from there, and he has shown to me to be very factual and non-judgemental. Good guy I think...

The truehi9 is a product built by me (Chris Weivoda) and one other guy. No big company just two guys that invested a lot to build something we thought would be cool. I try to deal in facts and truth because then I don't back myself into a corner very often.

ROBERTK, I still remember the Currie pinion support deal that I was wrong about (bolt hole alignment). Shame on me.
