I ran mine with stock axles down to 6.52 (1/8th) with a 1.37 sixty foot with a mini spool and richmound gears everything else stock, ran it like that all season in 05' no issue's. But I was afraid something would happen so I upgraded to the Strange 33 spline full spool axles and c-clip eliminators.
Maybe I just got lucky but when I took everything apart the only thing that showed wear was the mini-spool..and it is still running in my uncles truck.. :shock:
