Default new axles
im oredering some moser 28 spline axles for 8.8 while its being rebuilt, i found what i need on summit but now need wheel studs. There are 2 different suggested stud packages, 1 with 1.5" underhead length and 1 with 3" underhead length. Which is the right one for my application?

^^^ +1 I would also go with a bigger axle. Call up Moser and tell them that yoe want the 31's. If they did not ship it out already I dont think it would be a problem.

How does Allow USA and Superior Axles compare to Moser? Does it make that much of a difference?

You need a 31 spline carrier to run 31 spline axles of course....
