I run Denny's pro steel driveshaft kit, and steel halfshafts. Also have Summers Brothers billet outer stub axles, and a Trutrac posi unit. I use spicer solid u-joints which are the only ones that don't snap, they just wear out.

Thank you so much for the reply brotha! So far that’s what I’ve gathered that’s the exact route I’m going to have to do... what’s your hp/tq numbers and do you ever run sticky’s(tires) you have no problems with that set up?
