In a 4x4 used like it should offroad, yes. :)
Well hopefully in a few weeks I will see how they hold up in the mud. No rocks just mud.

Well ok, you got me there. They work ok for mud too.

But You still won't ever get me to willingly put one under a 4x4 Burb.

But 8.5s are junk .........cough cough.........28 spline or 30?

35 spline.

That's a very good example you've got there. I'm curious though, how long did you run the stock carrier and what were the power levels then?

And I'm betting that thing hooks pretty well too, doesn't it?

I ran the stock center section up into the early 1990's so that would be around 12 - 15 years; going 11.80s back then, so probably 560HP at the flywheel.

Hooks up pretty good but comes out flat. You can read more here if you are interested:

When I put the spool in, probably early 1990's.

So it took the abuse of hard launches all that time with 28 spline axles and factory carrier? Thank you for proving my point lol
