hey Guys for those with a 9 inch drop in were y’all able to retain y’alls abs, I’m looking into the strange cobra Jet but couldn’t read anywhere about Abs, I think the Moser and Currie you do retain it, only reason I’m asking is my abs is important because the MoTeC I’m installing does some nice thing with traction control and I would like to retain it, let me know guys looking into ordering this in the coming week.

What rear brakes?
On my Strange CJ 9” I also swapped over to rear Wilwoods and I’m struggling to find the solution to keeping ABS. I would assume the Strange with stock rear brakes would be fine.

I wanna stay stock rear brakes? Do your axles have reluctor wheels ? I want the strange but haven’t gotten a straight answer on the whole abs thing which I need Shawn at fisher Motorsports make a custom 9 for our cars, that has custom abs for both stock ecu and after market standalone ecu but like always price is a big thing he said he would send me a quote tomorrow but I’m sure it will be double the price of a strange or moser, J if you don’t mind me asking how much was your axle?

I have a strange in mine. You will also need a new UCA and panhard bar relocation bracket. I have stock brakes, 35 spline axles, s track, abs works no issues. Ran about 3500 ish

Hey Sir what gear ratio and how much power are you running if you don’t mind me asking ? Trying to figure out what gear I wanna run in my setup I have 410’s now but after my engine build and new blower setup I think 410s might be too much idk honestly

Let me know what Shawn's price is, I'm assuming you got your Motec thru him as well?

Info above and price is correct, and I do have ABS reluctors but currently need a custom solution with the non stock rear brakes. You will be fine running the Strange and stock rears, they have the correct caliper mount.
And you do NOT need a new UCA if you have a newer piece. At least with my BMR UCA it’s was a swap over.
Custom driveshop was the only delay buy even that wasn’t bad, around $1100 for an SFI CF shaft from PST.

What kind of differential are you guys using? If I did this swap, I'd like to put a torsen in like the car came with.

Before I got the idea to go 9 in had already talked to Shawn and he said the MoTeC had some nice features for traction but that he had a special bracket to add another sensor to my 8.8 to have 4 sensors total back there but then I got the 9 in my head and now I’m dead set on it I like the strange and the Currie is nice also but If Shawn’s is not too far off in price I’ll probly do his, what diff are you running I was thinking tru trac or wavtrac 35 spline but not sure on on gear ratio I have 410’s but now I feel like I might need to bring it to 325 idk

Right now I’m just in the stock Torsen but will be going 35 spline wave trac or Detroit true trac, wish there was a 40 spline option without going to a spool .

I’m around 750hp, 28” stiff wall slick, 3.89 gear and I cross the line soon as the shift light comes on in 4th

Thanks Manny, my only question now is what is the difference between Strange's retomod floater and a true double floater? Other than about 2500$? Strange can supply a 15" beadlock friendly floater without center section for 4100$

Sorry double floater is a typo it’s just a floater and ya he explained that he uses ones of the heaviest center sections the only problem that we ran into is he uses a 5x5 pattern because he’s had the 5x4.5 shear off because of high torque I’m just thinking I’m my head like damm how much torque, my biggest problem is I already have custom single bead welds already made and custom Vossen work wheels on it now and I’m just not looking into buying all new wheels, idk strange and mosser are still on the table because of the price, I just wanna find out if I can buy a drop in 9 from mosser or strange and add the floater option and be able to use my stock brakes and abs and keep my bolt pattern so I can just reuse my wheels
