Just a quick piece from off road design
28 vs. 30 Spline:
Most stock GM 10 bolt front axles are 28 spline. Some Blazers and Suburbans from 89-91 may have factory 30 spline front ends. The most common way to get a 30 spline front is to swap a 30 spline rear differential in the front housing. We can supply the shafts with 30 splines on the diff end, and cut with the correct pressure angles to match the GM diff. However, the 28 spline axles are enough stronger than the 297 u-joint that they will not break. Retaining the 28 spline diff leaves you with the ability to run common factory axles for spares. The only real advantage to the 30 spline axles is if you run a much stronger ujoint, the 30 spline could have a real strength advantage over the 28 spline.
I think my suburban has a 30 spline in the front and it worked great up to 38s until i was doing something that would've broke something eventually i like the 10 bolts i would go back in a heart beat but hopefully this d60 death wobble stuff pans out

I completely agree, but since I already have 28 spline im just going to keep it, the biggest tire this truck will see is 35s. Im sorry to hear about the death wobble though, i never quite understood why those axles do that
