    I guess I see it as a form of dampener; relieving stress on everything including shafts.

    i always thought that by having full hydro it made didn't let the shafts throw the tires around as the Ujoints loaded up and that was more stressfull.
    Either way i have another state tractor pull to go to in two weeks still on the 30 spline outers. Wish me luck.

    Oh I posted some pics to live and in my thread, guess never here. Twisted the rear output off as soon as I hit the gas. I was in L-L :oops:

    Good news was I had the parts and swapped them in when I got home. Got 3rd in the mud drags the following weekend. :thumbsup:

    I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of it. But money is non-existent right this minute, and its never missed a beat on the trail just moving my truck or someone else's along. That being said, it also ain't worth shit to anyone else if its broke...gotta sell it in one piece...hmmm

    For those of you running Full Hydro, did you use a home brew mounting kit or something like Artec, Blue Torch or Goatbuilt offers. I like the Artec mount but not how it stretches the full length of the axle.
