In the video checkout the left rear tire and rim, I think he busted a left rear axle shaft cause I don't see it turning, and don't tell me he has the diff. unlocked cause I think I see it turning at the start of the video.

Roll Me Over
well the GM 10 bolt will cost me around $75-$150 from a NEWER chevy 1500 and is EVERYWHERE. the reason i chose this axle is b/c i want a Full Floater in the rear w/matching gears. Mitchell Differential from MA or RI makes a bolt on FF kit for the 10 bolt. I already talked to them. So I'll have my matching gears, FF, and cheap axle to find, and keep my 6x5.5 lug pattern:) Ok, i'll have it cut to 61" then in the rear, match the front. Didn't think about that tracking issue. thanks.

Most trucks come with a wider front than rear, but some like the T100 are just the opposite. It doesn't make any difference except for personal preference on the street. Some would argue that wider front is better on the trail because if you can fit the front through, then the rear will go too. Still just personal preference though...
