9" ford help

Ok guys I need some help. I've been looking at 9" stuff all day. And need advice. I bought a 9" that is 61.25 long. Has no axles but came with 3rd member that is 4:11 ratio 31 spline. Paid 75 dollars for it. It is a old style big ford. So 3.5 x 2.375 I need to get axles and brakes. I have juice brakes on the front so I don't think discs will help that much on the back.



I need to know -
Best place to get axles for a good price and length.
Brakes
What 3rd member I have and is it worth keeping.

Call mosser axle. They'll get ya squared away

 

I went with Dutchman for the axles and drum brake assemblies. Fits with no issues and good pricing.

 

Will they tell me what diff I have and brakes to use?
If my calculations are right if I use 2 3/8 drum brakes the axles I need are 33.938
29.938

It's going in a 31 ford coupe. The tires are really wide. I forgot the size. It will work fine.

Cut your own. Use a thin cutoff wheel on a grinder:

Randy's ring and pinion has some cut your own axles too.

 

Yukon Axle and Gear, the link I posted, IS Randy's Ring and Pinion.

Make sure you get the brake kit you want BEFORE you narrow, and measure, measure, and measure again. This is my '31 and I woun d up narrowing it to 52" wms to wms.
