That sounds too easy.
The biggest problem I had with my 9" install was six trips to the driveshaft place until they got the length right and balanced it right. You don't mention the pinion angle. For some reason mine was pointing up towards the box initially.

When you got the 9" did you get the top plates for the u-bolts or use something else. I'am looking for a 9"-3:50 myself, haven't found any in Michigan. The 4:27 i have just can't give me the highway crusing speed with lower RPMs.
