I think I will end up with a 9-inch at some point. This isn't going to be a heavy hauler, just a good looking daily driver. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll likely end up doing that when I get the money to do so, in the mean time, I am trying to track down (and I think I found one with Ford_Six) a dana 60 with a higher gear Ratio. I can keep my rims and tires for now and get the better milage.
