Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include axles or a third member?

No. This is a bare housing only. It requires 31-spline axles and a compatible center section, both sold separately.

How much narrower is this housing than stock?

This housing is approximately 4 inches narrower than stock overall, 2 inches per side, and fits 345 to 355mm wide tires with mini-tubs.

Can I use my factory brakes with this housing?

No. This housing requires an aftermarket brake kit, since it uses big Ford Torino bearing ends rather than the factory Camaro or Firebird bearing ends.

What rear suspension systems is this housing compatible with?

This housing is compatible with Ridetech 4-link, torque arm, or factory multi-link rear suspensions.

What wheel backspacing does this housing support?

Typical backspacing is 5.5 to 7 inches with mini-tubs, though exact clearance depends on your specific wheel and tire combination.

Are the suspension mounting brackets already installed?

Yes. Upper and lower control arm, shock, sway bar, and panhard mounts are pre-welded to the housing.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. Professional installation is recommended, since rear end removal and gear setup are required.

What finish protects this housing from corrosion?

The housing uses a durable black powdercoat finish for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
