Pretty sick, any idea on how much you'll end up being into the axles for?

The rear id say about 1500 max and itd be less if i got one that didnt need spindles to fit 35 spline... Could also go 14b for under a grand i bet.

The front will be around 2800 based off my math and depending if i go air locker or detroit.. I dont have everything yet but thats what its looking like.

Lol tires and rims will almost be more than the axles...

Thanks, I'll need new tires by the spring, I've been debating buying a 60/14b combo and throwing the artec bracket kits on them. Guess I'll have to start looking around again for a local set.

Sick flex, man. You could drive the rear tire over most family sedans and it would feel like a speed bump.
