RE: gears....what else
because if you plan on swapping out to 31 spline axles later on, you will have to get the rear end setup again. And when you re-install used gears, they always whine.
If you plan on making any kind of good power, you should upgrade to 31 spline axles now.. like i said, its more money now, but less in the long run

yea, its very very hard to get used gears not to white you have to put them in the same exact wear pattern they were in before, which isnt easy. so id buy new gears. but thats me.

the spline count is the number of teeth at the end of the axle, where it inserts into the differential. 31 spline axles are stronger than 28 spline...
people like me snap 28 spline axles... so we upgrade to 31 spline

where can you get a spline at? how much they usually cost?

summit sells them for $209.95 per set (2 axles) and you will need a new differential as well. You can buy used 31 spline diffs on ebay for ~$100 maybe even less.. just search for "31 spline 8.8"
