I have a 31 spline spool , but im thinking about buying an aftermarket case and using a Nascar detroit locker off ebay as they can be had for around $200 shipped . This will give me a wheel mount to wheel mount of 53" . Factory is 54.5" , so 3/4" per side narrower allowing me to run up to a 4.5 backspace wheel . I currently have 15 x 10 4 " back space but 4.5 backspace is alot more popular .

I am stuck on the "stock suspension" classes . I could have back halved it but then i'd be limited class wise . The old school backhalve classes are fast (4.80's) . Stock suspension classes run 275's or 26 x 8.5's and are around the 5.90's , this will give me a place to work into . Primary goal right now is Pinks all out and 7.0 index . I have a daughter going to college soon so it's going to be slower index stuff or nothing for a few years .
