Asked on pirate but havent gotten much of a response yet, i think there are more people on naxja at any given time anyway.
Ive run across a small bearing, 28 spline, ford 9 inch that probably came out of an early 70's mustang for $100. The real pluses of this axle are that it is geared at 4.86:1, it is 61" wide (approx same as an XJ), and it has a 5 on 4.5 inch bolt pattern. I want to get this to replace my D35 and i will be running 33's. Obviously it is stronger than a D35, but how do you think it will hold up to the 33's with a mini spool? I will upgrade to a big bearing 31 spline full width in the future and prob reuse the gears, but for now this sounds like a sweet upgrade. Opinions? Should i get it?
