I changed out mine for a 14bolt rear, for one, disc brake rear. Two gearing options and readily available parts, and third I eventually want to install a locker or LSD carrier for better traction in an offroad situation.

14bolts are readily available and it took me a weekend to swap the rear, change from drum to disc, fabricate my perches, and position it correctly
