Depends on where you want to end up. If you want to be in the 10's, 9's and mostly a track car, then you may was well do it now. if you are just going to be a quick street car then the stockers will be fine as long as you stay with street tires and not going with street/drag tires. The stickier you get the harder it is on the axles.

well 31 spline would be extra insurance. I think F150 trucks have the carrier you need.
