I thought my slicks were easier on the rear end than street tires. Mainly they didn't wheelhop. Parts will break if you bog the car. I have also twisted a pair of 28 spline 9' axles with the slicks though. I also broke the factory posi units leaving high as well. I tried to stay cheep on rear ends. All my cheepness only lead to spending more money and required my doing things the right but more expensive way in the end.
