UPgrading to ford 9
« on: March 19, 2006, 02:45:28 PM »
Well I'm tired of having no options for gears. So, I'm thinking about upgrading the rear axle on my XL-7 to a ford 9".  What I'm woundering is if I do this will I be able to the keep ABS?? If so what do I need to do to make it work the XL-7?

Thanks,
George

I dont know how you would retain the ABS. What gear option are you looking for? Why not just eliminate the ABS and remove the dash bulb? ::)

This thought has occured to me but likely it would mean a custom 9", not something from under an old Ford you found behind a barn. :P  I'm sure Currie or one of the other famous 9" builders could do it and make a system that would hook right up to the Suzuki ABS.  Just be ready for the bill.

Do you have any pics of your rig posted?  That teaser pic looks good but I'm getting a headache trying to see it. :P
