Rear End Upgrade

Everyone is telling me to get a 9 inch kit but they are $8000. What is a better alternative to upgrade the rear end of my 2012 2ss. Im looking for it to support 800whp

Hendrix offset differential bushings and a Truetrac. Otherwise, ZL1 rear.

I am never going to be in the 700+ rwhp, so I am not going to mention my GM 3.91 with LPW cover.

If you are an auto, you can probably find a ZL1 3.23 fairly cheaply. With drive shaft and axles can be done for well under 3k. 3.73 units are getting hard to find.

With almost 800 wheel, all she does is slide.

Eaton tru-trac and GM 3.91 gears here as well. I'm not at 800 but good to see it can support it. Axels are next for me.
