try jegs or summit have them price match anything you may find cheaper anywhere else,

they also only charge 9.99 for shipping and gears aren't lite.

I know that if you want 3.55 FRP gears from jegs there on backorder for 9 weeks

Sounds to me like you snapped an axle. It's odd that you would snap one with relatively few mods (i.e. no power adder). What were you doing when it went?

Yeah, that may have done it.

31 spline axles are a good upgrade, but if your replacing the diff as well, go with something more robust than a trac-lok.

That 31 spline diff anad superior axles is what I will be going to very soon. I just further broke my rearend a few minutes ago doing some WOT datalogging. Sounds like gravel when I turn a corner now.
