8.8 inch spool installation and is it worth it?

[Justbust1n]

how much of a hassel is it to install a spool and are they as good as they say ?

 

[Yardape]

They are the best at locking the axles together, but comes with a price. Very ******* axles and tires. If its a money concern I wouldn't do it because you will spend alot of money replacing axles and whatnot. A detroit eze-locker I believe is the next cheapest and easiest option. Easiest to install also.

if you are going to be driving it a lot on the street i wouldnt recommend it because as yardape said theres a good possibility of snapping axles especially stock ones

 

[ocalabronco]

with stock sized tires, snapping axles isnt really a concern. what poses more of a problem is the lack of differentiation between the tire speeds, contributing to the drastically accelerated wear of the tires. so if you dont mind replacing tires faster than normal, spools rule. otherwise, go with a limited slip or automatic locker

Not to hijack the thread, but any prefferances of a LSD for the 8.8" differential (and price)?
