im guessing you are reffering to a fully complete 8-3/4 rearend,if so,and i'm guessing here,but i will say somewhere between 200-300 pounds complete

Hi
thanks for the answer but I meant to total rear weight of the car
How much weight the suspension will handle
With a 8-3/4

It´s not always easy to say the right things in a foreign language  :dunno:

My street Cuda small block w/auto was 1625 rear, 1835 front w/o driver...

8 3/4 rears can take alot of abuse, unless your making 500hp with a big tire..

The reason I ask is that I´m buying coilover kit and they need to know which springs I need
