Re: best rear axle

Re: best rear axle
They are all strong. Its doubtfull you will haul enough with a pickup truck to hurt any of them. I would go with the 14 bolt just because they are everywhere. you can walk into just about any junkyard and leave with as many as you want. They were used for a long time and didnt change.
