Rick seemed to have good luck with his stock SS rear, lasted for over 300 nitrous passes with hard launches and many more NA passes. Pro Stock John also raced for 3 years on his stock SS rear diff and axles before braking the spiders. Plus it's about $50 cheaper than the 1LE axles and hubs of going with new parts.
So quick question, have you tried your sliding your axles in those hubs you got?
I tried to test fit and my axles don't seem to go in the hubs all the way.
The guy I bought the driveshaft from had like you have.
So was curious if you had any fitment issues? Pictured is all that the axle will go in the hub. It seems to not want to slide on the second set of splines on the axle.
Any help would be appreciated.
