Strange 12 bolt question When did Strange start using 3.00" tubes on their 12 bolts? I measured the tubes on mine today and they were 2.625".
I found some older posts on here that talked about them being close to stock diameter, but now I see Strange lists them at 3.00".
Were the older versions with the 2.625" tubes known for having any problems, or was the change simply made for extra insurance?

Bump it!
I called Strange and the guy I spoke with didn't know what I was talking about. He thought they were all 3.00". Of course, admitted he's only been there for a short time.

They might have been backin the day but Strange is most likely going to be the only person that can answer that question for sure. Everything I have ever seen for the last 16 years has been 3".

Yeah, I guess i'll have to call them back and ask somebody who has been there for a while. I found a couple of old posts that say their 12-bolts have 2-5/8", which is what mine has. I think mine was put in the car in 2003-2004 from what I remember seeing on the ring gear last time I had the cover off. I guess they changed them somewhere between 2004-2005.
