Its the 10 bolt that came in it but its narrowed 6 inches with a eaton ,373's 31 spline axles c clip eleminators and torino flanges for the brakes and the tahoe weighs 4500 lbs as it sits so it sounds like a good idea I dont do allot of hole shots with but it runs in the high 11's with the road race tires on it and it gets out of the corners pretty hard soI figure it cant hurt
You could do a Ford Torino end's with a 9 inch bearings on custom axles in the 14 bolt. There 33 spline.
For the time being the cover might help but you're probably on borrowed time.
Did you weld up the axle tubes on the HOE???

Didn't know you had all that done to it...

Sound's like what they did was get custom made axles using ford 9 inch bearings with Torino ends. The 8.5 has a 30 spline carrier. The ford ends and bearings would retain the axles like a c-clip eliminator.
Most axle manufacturers can make them fairly simple. They use a standard 9 inch Axle blank. They drill the bolt pattern, cut them to length and spline them when you order them. Usually a 2-3 day lead time on standard axles. High end racing ones take longer because they have to be heat treated.

Not familiar with them.

I have been told 1 week lead time on axles before only for it to take a little longer.
Strange is good at that as well as Dutchmen.

I learned me a little bit here and there... Seriously though, I was actually considering something like this for a C-clip alternative on the 14 bolt 9.5 but the work to get the stock brakes to work was to much hassle. Most people upgrading the brakes and the internals aren't afraid to spend a little more to go the 9 inch route.
