Hey all thanks you so very much for all the information... I now have many, many options to consider. The 9 inch has already had axles bought for the chevy 5 lug. I also am not planning on loading the truck down and hauling a bunch of weight, but if I do thanks for the ideas of the safety issues (hadn't even thought of that). So now I have some thinking to do and figuring out how I really am going to use my truck... Thanks again, and happy turkey day.
