nooB drivetrain upgrade ?'s
Want to discuss drivetrain upgrades for a minute.
Time has come to replace some chassis and drivetrain components forpreventative maintenance. Some things I dont know though.
How much power can the stock axleshafts handle?
Which output shaft is weaker, the left or right side?
Is the stock torque tube worth rebuilding, or should I upgrade to the '01+ torque tube? I'm pulling the motor soon so if there is a problem I want to fix it while I'm down there.
Should I use a solid torque tube prop shaft bushings in the back and rubber in the front or solid on both ends?
should I consider changing the posi while I'm in the transaxle or should I leave it alone?
I'm on a budget so I dont want to grossly overdo it. I'll be pulling the engine soon or replacement and will replace the prop shaft bushings while I'm down there and I can transfer to a new torque tube if necessary. I want to do this in 2 stages, the engine and other small things first, then beefing up the drivetrain second. Any pointers here will help me out a ton!

Just want to make sure I put my money in the right place. I'm buying a house when I get back from my deployment, so I can only afford to do this once for a little while...
What about wheel studs?
