Blown 10 Bolt.

Well she finally had enough, snapped the rear spider and side gears. But what can you expect with that much power running through a 10 bolt? So I had a friend give me an old 12 bolt... but I decided to go with a 9". g Also going to go ahead and do a full tub (moving the frame rails and steel tubs). Will probably end up moving the fuel cell to the original location of the gas tank. Building my own 4 link set up, as well as spring perches with jacking bolts and shock mounts. Planning 31x16.50x15 slicks and front skinnys, 150lbs rear springs, and rear 70/30 shocks. Going to go ahead with front runner tires, new springs, control arms and a 90/10 shocks. As far as gears and carriers: Movtive 4.56 gears and a Detroit locker have yet to decide between 31 and 35 spine axles.

Now for the Pictures:


Completely Destroyed Spider Gears
