Re: GM 10-Bolt axle/locker advice needed

Okay what are you using this for?? Are you doing burn outs on pavement or wheeling rocks? My truck had a 10b/12 bolt combo from stock up to 35x14.5 gateway gumbos. I ran a G80 in the rear and a power trax lock rite up front. I loved the posi rear for its street and the locker was awesome up front in the rocks. My front 10 bolt was 28 spline and i never broke a shaft, stub, or axle joint.

Buy once cry once would be a set of 1 tons or 3/4 ton 14 bolt rear and 3/4 ton hubs and backing plates for your current 10 bolt front. I don’t believe in upgrading axle shafts in a half ton axle. If your at that point your money ahead to swap to 1 tons or atleast a 3/4 ton rear.

If you must stay 6 lug… i would go selectable locker out back and sparten or lock rite up front.

If i had to do it all over i would of gone cucv 1 tons and been done with it. But i went from 10/12b to converted 10b/14ff to D60/14ff. I learned alot through actually usibg the diffrent setups but wasted some cash in the end…
