Edit- The Strange spool would have the large hub diameter. I do not know about the Richmond for sure, but I could find out. The cheaper ones would probably have the stock hub diameter, which wouldnt work.

I run 8.5" internals in the rear in lieu of the 8.6 ... at the time i did my install 8.5" parts were just more readily available. The locker is much nicer that a spool ... spool is goign to wreck things on the street unless you have some seriously low traction crap *** tires.
