    Let me know if you find anyone with a 99-04 sold axle.. I am in need of one myself.. you wouldn't be interested in a 99-04 solid with Strange 33 spline axles, welded axle tubes, 4.56 gears and Strange full spool would you? its a drag rear end for sure..lol

    Here's a complete rear for $250. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/2860468344.html

    When I did mine DTS (in Detroit) built me a complete unit with FRPP 3.73s and diff cover, Eaton diff, and Strange axles shipped to my door for a little less than 2 grand if I remember correctly.

    I believe the 99-04 rears have their one size.. the -98 ones are narrower flange to flange

    98 and earlier are 3/4" shorter per side for a total of 1.5 compared to the 99+. The IRS is about 1" narrower than a 99 solid axle.

    Forgot about the width difference. Now that I think about it don't some people run the 94-98 axle intentionally to fit more tire under the car???

    Mine was 99+ width but with GT brake brackets so I could run 15 inch wheels.

    Sad but true. If I could only have ONE mod on a Terminator it would be between a pulley/tune or a solid and I'd go with the solid without a doubt.
