Replacement Axle / C-notch with ECE Panhard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am interested in dumping my 3.08 for a 3.73 Posi rear-end. I've priced-out replacing the ring and pinion and adding Posi...it's about $800.

Since my 17 x 9.5 Torq Thrusts rub the inside of my wheel buckets in back (when on an angle), I was wondering if there is an axle that is 1.5 - 2" wider than my stock unit that I could weld some saddles onto and bolt it on. I figure this would solve my wheel rubbing and axle ratio / traction issues.

Also, I am running bags out back with ECE's Panhard bar and am interested in adding a C-notch just to get a bit more travel when driving low. However, in the past I saw a posting here where someone had installed a Cnotch with ECE's panhard and the mount at the axle U-bolt wouldn't clear the frame. Has anyone installed a bolt-in Cnotch from CPP or McGaughy with the ECE panhard?

Many thanks for the continuing education.
