Default Strengething 10 Bolts.

A while back I saw an article some where about strengthening the GM 10 Bolt. I do not remember where this was or what it entailed, any one remember this, anyone tried it?

Its a complete waste of time to try and strengthen a 10bolt. No matter what you do, if you're hard on it, it WILL break. I've done several things to mine and have broken it twice. If you fix one weak link, the next will break. Just start saving for a 12 bolt.

I would rather spend alot more for a 12 bolt than spend a small amount a few times to try to keep the 10 bolt from breaking. think about it, if you go to the track and breans the 10 bolt your stranded until the tow truck picks you up.

dont bother with the 10-bolt. get a 12-bolt and be done with it.it will be less of a hassle in the long run and might save $
