Don't know how much a housing would weigh though. Maybe talk to a diff shop.......The 9" was originally intended to be a heavy vehicle style diff with it rugged construction, pinion tail bearing, high hypoid angle etc, so it was never going to be a lightweight. Hard to beat for rugged use and the fun that results..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
