I blew my first one when I was stock and just blew my second one this past year. Stepped up and got a 9in, the ten bolt wont last long at all even if it is built.

I agree, especially if it is a manual transmission. Bob

It does help to load up the drivetrain, because it's the shock that seems to break 10 bolts. In the end, they can only do so much given their size.

If you can afford to step up to a 12 bolt or 9 inch do it now. Your wallet will thank you down the road, when the 10 bolt goes again. I've spent money twice on the 10 bolt and wish I would have listened to the person (Bob) that gave me the advise I'm giving you now.

The stock 10 bolt finally took a dump last track outing after hitting a few 1.40's 60 foot. I'm going with an S60 as soon as I save up some $. Then hit 'em hard without any worries.

It's true what they've advised you bro, the 10 bolt will keep breaking as long as you keep pushing it to the limit! If only you woulda contacted me a couple days earlier on STFB you coulda had the one I just sold.
