Default are moser 28 spline axles worth it?

hey im about to put 3.73 gears and rebuildthe trac loc in my car and i was wondering if i should throw in some moser axles while im at it. so is it worth getting the hardened 28 splines compared to the stock 28 splines? i would get 31 spline but thats out of the questionright now becausei dont have enough money for a new differential

thats exactly what I have done with my car. I didnt see the point of buying a set of gears, and paying to have them installed.... just to buy a new set of gears and have them installed with the 31 spline axles


why would I need new gears? Everyone knows that used gears are already worn, and if you dont re-align the gears perfectly, they will howl something fierce!
