Just thinking the other day. How would using quick change gears for DD and a weekend of wheeling? I know you would have to get two sets of grears.Maybe you can't get a set for the front, I don't know.

What I'm thinking is using 3.55 for street driving, then switching to 4.10 or what ever for wheeling.

Changing gears is not a quick process. Mine took 6-8 hours to install by a professional shop. They are not just plug and play.

Those cars use the Ford 9" rear end. This axle doesn't have a removable diff cover like most others, instead the whole assembly comes out in 1 piece. It lookes like this


So they can have a few differend 3rd members with different gears already set up and then just swap them into the axle housing. Thats how they can change gears so quickly. On a 9.25 it'd be pretty hard. Once the initial set up was done you can just mark where the shims go and keep putting each one back where it belongs, but this will still shorten the life of the gears since it really won't be a "perfect" fit.
