need to upgrade differencial when I upgrade the axles?
If I am upgrading to some Nitto DRs and supercharging this summer I do want to upgrade my axles right? I saw that the ford racing axles I was going to upgrade to (31 spline) said I needed a 31 spline differential...I was under the impression that I could just replace the axles and not mess with the differential for now. What exactly do I need if anything? Thanks guys.

stock diff runs on 28 spline axles so if you go 31 spline axles you need a 31 spine differential. they do make stronger 28 spline axles that you might be able to use with the stock diff... but since your in there already i dont think its really worth it.

Should I upgrade to the 31 spline stuff to begin with when I go to Nittos or will I be okay with the stock stuff? I don't want to break anything, but if it really isn't worth it I don't want to bother for now.
