Hey guys...last night I was pulling my 98 dodge 3500 which pulls every weekend...the guy that did my head work estimates the truck at around 700 hp...last weekend I broke a yoke and this weekend exploded a spider gear in the rear differential...what would be the best way to upgrade the stock rear end to handle the horsepower?...a buddy if mine has a full locking Yukon differential but many say to spool it...any ideas,comments, or suggestions are appreciated

Puller only, spool, or weld up. Street go with a detroit, or ARB.

If all ur going to do is pull it i would spool it. I had one and never had another problem out of it..

yeah it is only a puller and im not a big fan of welding them solid so im thinking spool it...seems to be the most popular fix

You get the same results. I spool the rear and weld the front

Whats the ratio? What spline? Spools are only available for 4.10 and up. I have some Dana 80 spools available at closeout prices.
