You realize that rear is longer than the ones in the foxes right?

I have a 31 spline trac lok w/ carbon fiber clutches, Alloy brand axles 3.73's (soon to be 4.10's) on full slicks. Has held up pretty well. Didn't feel the need to spend a boatload of money.

As you can see from my sig, it launches pretty hard.

i guess so i have 4.10s now so i think im gonna stick with those, are you using c clip eliminators or do you think i dont need them, any other suspension upgrades you can reccomend, im running mid 8s in the 1/8 mile right now but i feel like im not getting good traction off the line.

In all my rears I have blown up ....ie..7.5's and 8.8's the spider gears have blown to pieces before I have ever snapped an axle, unless it's a full on race car I have never seen a need for c-clip eliminators
