Becuase I had been thinking all I needed was axles but now I need both. I've already got wasted money in this 31spine diff. Being put in this situation by a freind pisses me off. And I'm not the type to ask for my money back.

113$?? dude they are 230$ new. Not 500. It's a ford carrier not an eaton.

Sorry if I seem flustered.. Really makes me wonder when you get screwed by a freind since highschool.
It's my fault but lying about it doesn't make it right.

Thank you
If you really wanna know what you need, how much tq you going to make on the juice, what tranny, and what rear ratio?
A 800ftlb car with a glide and 3.08's will not hit the axles as hard as a 500ftlb car with a 3.35 1st gear manual and 4.56's.
Like I said, why do 28 now and risk breaking one, just do 31 and be done with it, time is money. You can prob find a "good" used 31 spline ford carrier for $100-$150.Interested in being a VIP member and donating to the site? Click here http://dfwmustangs.net/forums/payments.php

The 28 w/ c clip eliminators look good. I'll prolly hold off on 31 until I have a decent diff to match some good axles.
