if u set up the tq arm correctly (which slowmarrow will stress to ppl who have them!) and keep it in check on the rear end housing you will be fine…yes 9" is better no doubt, but thiers nothing wrong with 12 bolts they are just a tad bit more maintenance. nothing against drew but his tq arm had already had the same issue on the same rear, it was and has been a week link. once its fixed he will be fine.
