I spoke with Brandon back on Wednesday and the drive shaft will be a swap but there is a required pinion flange change that is not for the faint of heart due to certain procedures that I think are required for a correct installation. He said he would check into the installation requirements. The flange he described will be a major upgrade in dependability and durability. So far it sounds like the right solution. I am going to stick with the chome moly b/c of past good results. I would prefer to install the axles the same time as the drive shaft b/c the I think the procedure calls for preload and torque measurements of the pinion and carrier but I am waiting on confirmation of that. I would suspect that this is to make sure that the load on the pinion bearings are correct so that it won't go on an early demise.
