- Break. Upgrade. Repeat.
I have a 1987 Bronco II with a 2.9.
I have a disc brake 8.8 from an explorer. I currently have an open rear end, and I am wanting posi. I am not willing to spend what a lunchbox costs for what is essentially a wear-item, I do not want to redo gears for a full spool, and I want the reversibility that welding does not allow for.
I am not concerned about the tires chirping around corners.
The ONLY issue I have with a mini-spool from my research is that they break, so I am wondering what it takes to make them break. I have a 2.9 liter engine, 8.8" rear, 4.10:1 gear ratios, and 32" tires.
Is this beyond what a mini spool can handle? I would prefer real-world experience, but if theory is all I can find, then bring it on.
Thanks.
