Guys, I have a couple of buddies running this application, one with 38's spooled, the other locked, neither have had a single problem. One is even HP, spooled and does the con all the time. I agree with many of the things you all are saying. For my application, I wanted disc brakes strong R&P, and a reliable set-up. I got this rear end fairly cheap, put Dutchman axles in it, yukon gears and a locker. Anyone can break even the most built rear-ends. Depends on the application and how far you are willing to push your rig. I dont get insane, I do have balls though.
