Couch: are you able to put c-clip eliminators on your axle. cause from what ive been reading everyone says that stock axles need machineing to work with their c-clip elim.s

not my smartest decision but i dont have em. lol. with the spool it would be the right thing to do but i didnt do it. stock c- clips still in it.when i snapped the stock axle i was swinging donuts at whipple superchargers(place of employment) for some pictures and it snapped and chucked the axle,drum,wheel and tire across the parking lot.just missing the camera guys car.landed on the trailing arm.lots of fun.i should get the eliminators.lol

the superiors were like 250ish shipped.

not trying to hijack or anything,but is it possible to put Ford ends on a truck 12 bolt? That would eliminate the c-clips,I need to shorten mine 4 inches on each side and If that would work it would save having to use the eliminators.Thanks

Ok next Qs - I took everyones advice and am having 3.73s installed tomorrow along with my mini spool. I got my hoosier 28x10 and some 8" rallies all painted up and ready to go to the tire shop and have them put on. Do you all recommend I put the screws thru the wheels to prevent wheel spin? Or do I need to worry about it with the minimal amount of power Im runnin?

I wouldn't worry about it

Try it with out. You can pick up some white shoe polish, draw a line at the valve stem. Have a buddy video the launch and focus on the tire for 1 or 2 of them.. This will tell you few things, 1) Are you getting tire spin 2) Any wheel hop 3) if your tire is slipping on the rim.
