Default Good deal for a 9 bolt?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAMAR...spagenameZWDVW

Found this not too far from me, a couple days left and no bids. 3.27 gears and it is def. a BW 9 bolt. I have a few questions though: Is this rear really any better than my 10 bolt LSD? What are the pro's/con's about it? Did all of the BW's come with the larger rear discs, or are the older ones the smaller, opposite side set up?

The BW could be found as early as 85 but the better brake set up (Not the stagered like those are in the pic) was from 89+. The BW would have a larger stronger gears that your 83 has. But for $5 bucks you could get that in scrap if you had to.

Im thinking about it, but im almost broke, what money I have left is going into the cherokee. My plan for it would be to get some 3.73 gears and clean it up, would be nice to swap it into the Z someday... I think I may just wait till after I get a new cam and heads, then if I break the 10 bolt I could justify it, haha.
