 Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 5:47 pm Post subject: 31 spline suspension stuff |
 |
|
Was doing my daily wish list write up and realized I have a 28 spline differential...
Was just wondering what kind of power you need to be making for it to be worth upgrading everything to a 31 spline or if there is even a point other than piece of mind. I thought I asked about this awhile back but couldnt find a thread.
Thanks! |

Just so that you know, you will also need new axles with that 31 spline diff. I had a 31 spline AuburnPro Locker with Moser 31 spline axles. It really felt solid in my opinion.

| Yea I kinda figured since the differential changed the axles would as well, was wondering if anyone knew when it was necessary. |

| Well I know that 31 splines are obviously better than 26 or whatever I have stock but is that an upgrade people do when they screw up the rear end or is it a high horsepower upgrade or what? |

It's one you want to do off the bat and never worry about it again

| If you got to buy axles and a differential might as well do 33 spline if your going to do it. Doesn't cost but an extra 20-30 bucks and it will never go anywhere. |

| Well if I can get a 33 spline for an extra $30 I am gonna go with that when the time comes. I am all about peace of mind and longevity. |

there's less options for 33 spline. If I could do it all over I'd prob do 31 spline and a FRPP carrier with up graded clutches.
