Well since im all in on this project I have went ahead with the 12 bolt. Should I think about upgrading my drive shaft or should factory with a new set of ujoints hold fine? Heads cam and a 4.10 gears.

Pretty sure you'll need a custom length driveshaft with the 12 bolt.

Does yours have ABS & TCS? I’ve read where guys have had problems with getting ABS & TCS to work even in the rear ends that were setup for it. I reached out to Midwest about it and they said it’s hit or miss whether it’ll work or not, and that most people delete TCS & ABS anyway since they’re putting the rears in race cars.
