Yep Nitro gear
Bluetorch Fab sells them I'm sure others too
$180 per

I actually did find those, but I assumed the Bluetorch Fab listing was just a placeholder. That part number is gone from the Nitro Gear website. Looks like they've quit manufacturing them. I guess I could email Bluetorch and see if they still have any stock. Thanks for looking either way!

Thanks. I've been looking at what I can do to keep the 5 lug and build it stronger then factory

Think I've found an easier and cheaper way than going with the 454SS shafts, even if Bluetorch does still have them. Moser offers welding and re-drilling of customer supplied shafts for different bolt patterns. Looks like you can get them re-drilled for about $90 each.

So basically find a 2WD 9.5" 14 bolt and have the shafts re-drilled for 5 lug.

Time for some new rotors.
Someone must've dropped it off a jack or hit it somehow. I wouldn't drive very long like that.

Well thanks yeah I was thinking the same thing but after posting this and thinking about it I remember hearing a strange noise a couple weeks ago while driving and I'm pretty sure it happened then but I was mostly wondering if there might be any thing else screwing my **** up I should know about.

Question, on my 96 3/4 ton 2wd truck is there a code for FF or SF? I know it's a 3:73 gear but not a posi unit and I'd like to add that but I'm not sure what's available for it.
