Looking for 9" advice

I bought a back braced 9" housing to put under my 2wd race truck. I am looking for some advice on building a 3rd member to handle the abuse. It's a single cab long bed and as the truck sits right now, it weighs 5140 with me in it. Hopefully after the back halving it and removing a few more items up front I can get her down to around 4700 pounds. It has 700hp right now, and once I get the chassis set up, and my wallet recovers, I will be working on more HP. I'm looking for some advice.

I was planing on going with 40 spline axles and a steel spool with a Nod. housing. Will an aluminum front support hold up? I'm a newbie with this kinda stuff. I thought I'd need something like a Daytona Iron support.

I was thinking I needed something similar to PRF-120 with the moly yoke, 40 splined spool, and pro gears? (Page 44)Strange Engineering

Thanks for the advice! Any idea how long a set of pro gears will last?

There... I put it in BOLD for ya Ryan.

Anything less just makes you nice carnage trophies for the wall and your drive shaft builder more money.

congrats on the parts delivery. I run an aluminum front support but mine's missing another 1000 lbs. I would recommend extra bracing for that backhalf between the rear of the cage and the top of the 4-link brackets. Mine flexes too much with the minimal bracing I have in it now.

It doesn't seem right to me to post how much money I've spent. But this is the kit I purchased, with some of the upgrades.

Thanks. I wasn't intending on doing a build thread, but I guess I'll post up a few pictures of the progress. This is a chassis and suspension mod after all.

The wheels and tires I picked up through Summit. I went with the 4 link kit, there is somebody local to me that has a chassis shop who can help me set them up.
