Hopefully this will help anyone thinking about putting a Ford 9" in a TTA and keeping the stock brakes. Let me know if there are any questions.

In your overall cost I didn't see the cost of the axles, and bearings in there?

The $995 base price of the axle assembly from quick performance includes the housing, axles, bearings, and torque mount.
 
Currie Enterprises does a 9" that bolts in like the stock rearend right down to the brakes and the driveshaft.
 
Unless Currie offers something other than whats on their website, I didn't see it. The cost of what I built (I suspect) will be $600++ lower than a Currie. Here's what I see for Currie which indicates an explorer or Wilwood brake setup. If they make a direct bolt in add the link to this thread so everyone can see that as an option. The more choices the better!!!!

What I built was closest to the Stage 1 as described below. To get close to the Stage 4 below would have cost only a little more. You can order the quickperformmance (Moser) axles in 35 spline, have a back brace installed for $169 ,the 3rd member from TJ would have cost about $150 more for the nodular iron case but he would have credited $100 by selecting the detroit locker instead of a Yukon posi unit. There's no right or wrong answer here, just options. If you have more options, post them up for all to see.....this is good information sharing. When I tried researching rear options, I couldn't get good info (or options) from anywhere so I'm trying to help others at this point.

I bought my rear end after it was taken out of anothet members car. It had a Ford Trac Loc diff in it which is pretty weak. I upgraded to a Moser Wave Trac diff, and I'm running Ford gears. I have the Explorer brakes which I like, because if you need it you can get extra holding power with the e-brake as it has drums inside the rotors. I've never actually needed the extra braking though.
