I know i will probably get flamed for this , but i have always owned trucks , and when you needed traction , you just got out the stick welder and had at it. My question is that my rear right now is pretty beat. The ring and pinion are chipped , and the trac loc is smoked. I am going to replace the entire rear as soon as i get up some cash. Untill i put in the new rear , can i take the truck route and weld up the spiders? Would i be better off just puttin in a spool right off the bat? I cant seem to find one for the 28 spline axles and i wasnt sure if you needed to remove the ring and pinion to install it , because if that's the case it isnt worth it for me to do right now being that my ring and pinion are beat. I am just looking to get some traction back untill i build up a little cash . Thanks guys!
