after watching johns rig not break anything last weekend, i changed my mind, thought about it and found another hp 60 will be buying it this or next weekend, I am hoping for tommy to come through, hesaid he would help me with my front stuff, but I haven't talked to him about 2 whole axles!!

I figure i could sell my axles and make enough to build both 60's

hopefully, I am gambling here!!

What problems were you having with the 35-spline 9-inch?

eventually the same problem i had with mine, broken ring gear! it is a high pinion nine (8.8) and 42 inch tires will kill it....

Ah.. was gonna go with either 35 or 40 spline axles in the rear of my '78, and planning on going up to 42's.. but not using a high-pinion 9-inch, so ring-gear strength shouldn't be an issue.

i haven't had any probems with it, i have been running it with 36" swampers, like bajg said with 42's it worries me!


If a was staying with the 36's i wouldn't sweat it, but the 42 are too much in my opinion, that is even pushng the 60's !

Are you finally going to give in and go 8-lug in the process?? It's a whole lot easier.
