front rear or posi lock?

[STOMPR]

interesting read...
Of course I am gonna say an axle swap is the wisest thing, and the most bang for the buck. hwoever, only you can say whether you are ready to take that jump or not.
I also say lock the rear and buy some spare 35 shafts and go for it. I wheeled my Dana 35 carelessly for 3 years without breaking. I sold the axle to AKmark and he broke it on his second or 3rd trip out with it. Maybe it was the motor difference. I dunno.
That axle that Mel runs has ben wheeled for years and years, and roughly too without any breakage. Mel beat it pretty regularly and it lasted all the way till that fateful Banner run...

I`ll have to call you out on the axle Mel is running It may have lasted when the locker was first put in but once I got it I broke it, in the waterfall at Fbks creek and how long after I sold it to Mel before he broke again ?
D35s SUCK you may be able to get away with it for a while but why build something twice? if you can figure a way to do it right the first time you will be better off. I say buy a matching ratio junkyard 8.8 with disc brakes for $400 and weld it or mini spool it then you can regear/upgrade later if you want to. And Justin I know you said you didnt want to do a axle swap right now but I still had to say what I feel would be the best option SORRY.
