Was wondering what u can do to beef up a stock rear? Just ordered a TA cover with the stud kit. Should i put some good axels in it? Would love some opinions other than just buck out for a new rear. also are axels an easy intall?? Need to beef up the rear with my power..

I know personally that axles are an easy install, easier than installing a new gear set.

1. Differential cover off.
2. Take off wheels and calipers and rotor
3. Pop the pin in the differential.
4. Pull out the axle.
5. Reverse the process.

They say the weak point in a 10 bolt is the crush sleve... there is a guy they lives by me who makes custom solid steel ones. Im having him do my 4.10 the solid spacer and a T/A cover. He said the only weak link left is the posi. He also said he has people running deep in to the 11s on 10 bolts
