If you're going to spool the rear, you may as well save yourself some $$ and weld it :thumbs:  for the front, either ARB or aussie.  Aussie is on the cheap end, ARP is :blingbling:

how would the weld hold up? with the 4.88s and 34s? and how much is a aussie? i only paid 300 for the truck! I only want to spend a total of 2000 here. arbs are 750!  and thanks for the quick reply!


Thanks Again

welding will hold up as good as the spool, go for the aussie in the front!

are you setting up your gears? i couldn't imagine being all that difficult to install, i personally run lock rights and they werent too bad (i think the aussie is a real similar setup), if i would have read up on the aussie more when choosing they would probaly be in my rig, lol.  spool/welded in the rear should be ok for a mainly trailrig, if its a DD you might look into doin aussies f/r
