couple of questions on 8 3/4 mopar rears

I have had very good luck with Strange. Use the 35 spline axles. They will last for a long time.
You could get the lightend axles and 5/8 wheek studs for a few dollars more.
Good luck.

I've been using Moser products for years and am very happy with them. 35 spline axles and spool are quite a bit stronger than 30 spline. But it doesn't hurt to have an extra margin of strength. 35 spline are more popular and easier to sell if the need arises. A steel billet yoke is also an extra durable piece because OEM yokes can eventually spread. 12-13 second range vehicle would do well either way.

If you do want to inspect the gears and weld something into the housing, you might as well have it straightened, weld a filler cap near the top which can double as an inspection hole, and consider a brace.

I chose the Moser spool and 35 spline axles for my Max Wedge stocker but when I bracket raced the car with a 440 and X-ram I ran stock axles and a stock sure-grip with 11 inch tires and never had a problem running mid to low 11's.
