Default Question for M6 guys running Spools?

I recently swapped from a Tru Trac and 31 spline axles to a Spool with 35 spline axles in my 9" and I've noticed that the car bucks a little at low speeds. I've checked my rear suspension and everthing is tight and I am feeling this "bucking" mainly when I'm in 3rd gear and under 30mph or 4th and under 35mph. Is this bucking common with this type of setup?

Matbe it's because you shouldn't be in those gears at those speeds? My car doesn't like 1st under 1500 rpms....Might just be the cam causing the bucking and not the spool....

I don't see the spool causing your problems. Bob
