If you constantly break the chubby girl I wouldn't switch to an anorexic one.

 LOL. yeah I would agree. The normal Richmond gears have a track record for breaking so why consider a lighter and probably weaker version. Had a set break on me like glass on a different car and I swore never again. Then I read about all the breakage on this platform and am not surprised.

^Agreed. I'm surprised mine lasted as long as they did.

Don't think the lightened gears are available for our diffs. Even for 9" rears the ratios are limited.
