    well a $190 gears set looks better then a 2000 rear axle, not saying it wouldn't be worth it but im not running a stall it it so the 10 bolt should be fine, by the way whatexactly breaks in those 10 bolts,

    I highly do not recommend running the spacer on your 2 series carrier to make a 3 series gear work. There are a few companies making 3 series gears that fit the 2 series carrier though.

    As far as what breaks in the 10 bolt........everything.

    It has held up great so far. I cut 1.68 60fts with BFG DRs. II have heard that the thick cut gears made for 2 series carriers actually hold up better because of the thickness. Not sure if its true but I have read it here or at tech.
