Can you explain why not?
Because when OP says he is considering a new axle from ECGS it's very cost effective.
Let's compare
New Currie 9" - $1189
- +31 spline 1504 Alloy Axles
- +New housing
- +Nodular Iron 3rd Member
- +Daytona Pinion Support
- +Semi-Float W/ No C-Clips
- +bolt on disk-brake support
- -doesn't include calipers
Reman'd ECGS 8.8" - $1444
- -Used stock shafts
- -C-clip axles
- -stock diff cover
- +includes gear oil
- +includes used calipers
- -40 to 45 day ship time
So when you add in a
disc brake kit to the 9" the 9" is $23 more expensive and idk about you but I would pay $23 to get away from c-clip axles, have a removable 3rd member, alloy axle shafts, larger gears, bigger pinion bearings, and the option to build the axle up even stronger down the road.
