factory 10 bolt....... hey guys im sure a thousand and 20 billion people have asked this question before. i just posted a thread in the external section https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...l#post11702705 and i guess he told me that gears were the way to go. im still on a factory 10 bolt my question is how many people are still running their 10 bolts with 4.10s and is there anything i ccan do to make it stronger to hold for a few months untill i get a 9in..... if i get gears im getting the deluxe install kit from ws6 store....
How much self control do you have? 10-bolts don't just grenade for no reason, but do so pretty easily when subjected to abuse. If you drive like a grandma, it will never be an issue.
As you already stated, this subject has been beaten to death. Bottom line:
The physical size of the ring, pinion, and differential makes beefing up a 10-bolt a futile effort.
If you can't afford the proper fix, you'll have to weigh the risks vs. reward. Putting money into new gears in a 10-bolt could be better spent on a larger rear end IMO.
