9" 3.062 vs. 3.250-Minor Dilemma-Opinions Wanted

Well, I bought the Richmond spool, and had Moser make the new 35-spline axles with the Richmond spline, star-cut flanges and, 5/8" studs. They are quite a bit beefier than the 31's I had in her before. I think this combo will live for a while. Probably will still get a 3.250 case on down the road and keep this one for a back-up/gear swap case for testing. Thanks for the replies guys.

I remember a guy in Lubbock that cheaped out and the broken axles cost him his brand new car.....
I know another guy in Amarillo that cheaped out and cost him the rest of his life, in a wheel chair being a paraplegic. cuz they wanted to save a few bucks................ so the point is do it right or stop till you can do it right..... you could regret it...... Glad you went with the bigger axles

Good question...They actually run all the way through the spool out to the end. I researched it a little before I pulled the trigger on it and, I'm glad I did. I talked to someone that had used the Richmond spool before and, they didn't tell Moser about the splines....they had to send the axles back to have the splines made longer.
