Alan, that link to Quick Performance is all you will need for any part for the rear housing and they have the best bolt on disc brake kit too. Brydon is the man when it comes to the 9". You can't beat the price, quality, service, and knowlege. I you want to put in a 4 link, it really isn't that difficult. I put mine together in about a day with some help from my neighbor. I used a common kit, and a front bracket that bolted to my frame in place of the spring hanger. Cool

What kit did you get? Looking on summit, the ones I see have a sub frame kit, and I'm ignorant as to how those tie into the oem frame. Also, where do I start when spec'ing the coil overs for the rear? Should I replace the oem coils up front for a set of coil overs?

Working on setting up the new axle for the 4 link. What should I set the pinion angle at?
