35 spline
 

Looking at moving my current 31 spline set up to the Blue Luv and building a new housing for the Yellow truck . I was going 35 spline and 5/8's drive lugs . Should i just go 40 spline ? Is it worth the added weight ?

Re: 35 spline
 

Could go 40 gun drilled, I have 35 moser in mine and so far so good.

I have 35 spline gun drilled and a star flange. Used a posi unit and that is the biggest axle I could use.

Looking like 35 spline and 5/8 will do what I need . Thinking 35 spline is more common .

From what I've heard gun drilled are not recommended on the street, seeing as you have a posi unit I'd assume for some street driving, so just a FYI.

I'd say you will be more than fine, I looked at 40 gun drilled with a spool for mine, but decided not as at the time I had dreams of street driving the thing a lot more than I do, but local law enforcement crushed that for me LOL.

But anyway, 35 in a good forged axel will handle lots, I went Moser, Mark Williams were my top choice but too pricey at the time.

There not drilled all the way through. It's like 20" from inside edge. Don't know some say it strengthens axles . yeah wanted to drive it some.

Just a FYI here,, but the maker and hardening process of an axle is JUST, if not MORE important than how many splines,, well to a point that is.

I had a Strange 35spline axle twist with just 580HP (14x32-15 slick dead hooking)

Then I 'exploded' a Dutchman 35 spline axle with the same 580HP

Next I put a nasty twist in a Strange 31spline axle with 660HP

As pair of Moser 31spline axles did better, but has a 1/4 spline twist when I replaced them,,

and I have yet to twist or damage the Mark Williams 31spline axles with 800HP

For whatever thats all worth
