I'm kind of the same. I don't plan on putting any power adders on, though...maybe a couple of bolt ons. I'm mostly wanting the IRS for the exhaust look and the improved ride quality and handling. I'm not much of the dragster. I'm considering selling off the DSS LVL 5 axles when I get the unit for about $1,100 and using that towards making a stock 31 spline setup with 2001 axles and new bushings. After selling my old setup I should be spending a net of $200-300 including exhaust and all 4 springs. This is from the prices I'm seeing recently sold on ebay for the parts I need. I'd be selling the rear end relatively cheap because it has a rattle going on at low speeds (incorrect clutch pack pattern) and it buzzes when the throttle is just barely on load (most likely the pinion nut backing off because I reused the new one after torquing incorrectly). But it has all new Ford Racing bearings, races, pinion flange, T-Lock Clutch pack, 4.10's koni yellows and SR upper/lower CA's.

More of a weekend warrior than anything. It's around 280hp right now, but I have almost a complete intercooled s trim kit that is going on it soon.

A stock 03/04 with a nice set of bushings would be more than enough for 280 up to 500 hp. They are a lot stronger than people think. Biggest issue is the soft factory bushings throughout just let the rear load up and unload to quick which is where the diff covers and axles break. Replace the stock bushings with poly or delrin (if you can stomach the price) and you should be good to go!!

Well when the time comes I may be interested in the axles. We will see if mine can hold on lol

Picked up my new atc enclosed car hauler today. The cobra had a bad experience involving the loss of my front bumper cover last year and a uhual car hauler after the races. Wife let me order this as a result. It was custom built to my cobras dimensions.

How much man I need one
You can get them a lot cheaper then I got mine. They range from 20 to 40k depending on how you have it built. Mine has AC, generator cabinet, multiple electrical outlets, and a winch that pops out of the floor. It was custom built around the dimensions of my car. Even has an escape door so I don't have to climb out of my window anymore. Ramps are custom made to fit my car too. Mine was just under 30k out the door. All aluminum. Torsion spread axles, weighed in at 3900 pounds for a 24 foot enclosed.

Yep. Stock raptor can pull 8400 pounds. Trailer weighs just under 3900. My car weighs 3400. It all works out good. That's why I went with atc. There all aluminum and very light. All of the trailer builders up in norcal where I love build solid trailers but they weigh about 2 to 3k more for a comparable trailer.

Got a hell of a deal on a diff, front billy's, and an axle w/ hub for the IRS swap. I was beginning to stress because some diffs were getting a little expensive to get ahold of. Currently $486 under projected budget and I only have a few more parts to get and sell my SRA and corresponding suspension items. I'm excited as hell for this swap!
