8.8 spool...
Just wanted to get people advice and opinions on install, and product choice.
My plan is to run a Strange steel spool, with Strange 31 spline axels. Any reasons why I should consider some other brand other than Strange? Is there such a thing as "Over-kill" when it comes to axels? Is this something I can do in my garage(I don't have a bearing press)? Thanks in advance...

9" ends means they cut your axle tubes and weld on 9" ends which a 9" housing has the bearings that bolt to the housing. If you have c-clip elims your good

"Robert says that out of the hundreds of rears he's checked for trueness, he's only encountered two that didn't have issues."
This is key right here. This is why a jig needs to be used when welding the axle tubes.
