The Plan

If I plan on a TruTrac & Caltracs, I'm wondering. I typically do a mod @ a time. I know the Caltracs should help ETs. Wouldn't a TruTrac just be a durability upgrade, & not lower ETs @ all?
The way I see it, do the Caltracs after, since there's less **** to get in the way while I'm underneath.
Where's Trever1t when u need him?

Do you have 3.73's in the rear end? If so you can leave it. Don't go any higher than an 18. You may want to consider the thought process from the back end up. What rear end is going to handle all that torque that you're wanting to build? (Did that sound right?).

Do you mean 18" wheel/ tire combo? If that's what u mean, I wanna stay w/ a 18" setup. Lisa, I would only use a 20" to stuff huge brakes in.
Tryin to stay w/ a 10 bolt. Hopefully build it right, & maybe it'll last.

There's more on the performance side?
Wow! I didn't realize u had that many things done. What's next?
You're a gearhead! I find your posts interesting, since u usu. throw humor in too.
I believe I just turned over 50k or it's sittin at 49,999. I want to throw my QA1s on the rear now. But, if I pay someone to put a TruTrac in, I'll be 
or 
if they damage my aluminum shock bodies. I know of 2 really good places known locally for drivetrain work. But that doesn't mean they'll be as careful round my stuff as me.

I don't know where your located. If in the Houston area AxisT6 is the Gearman. He installed the TruTrac and the Yukon 4.10's. Great learning experience.
The Chariot has roughly 119k mi on it. And everyday I completely enjoy driving it. I have to give comps to my pit crew

See what I mean bout the humor. That's great!
Ya, he gave me a list of tools I'd need if I choose to do myself. And some other info in the drivetrain thread he posted for me to check out. He's a few too miles away.
2 reputable shops in my area. The 1 has been doing it for many yrs, & they know they're very good @ what they do, as many know of their work. So u pay $$$ from them, but u know it's right.
The 2nd shop has been around for prolly 20 yrs, & if I don't do myself, I prolly give them the nod. There prices seem fair, & I know someone there, so I'll get some help partwise, but labor will be full price.
