The bearing basket is going to go way before the shaft or splice would. If Karl uses some good DOM tube then it will be plenty strong. As for the SAS advice, he has some future plans there. He's got an 87 troop with the 8 bolt inner 10 bolt outer front end, but it's soon going to get 10 bolt inners as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
