12-bolt Posi
Just how tough is a 12-bolt posi rear-end? Compared to a dana 60, i know the dana will take just about all the thrashing i can give it, but how well will the 12-bolt hold up?
Thankx

Depends on what you do with it. Big tires and big power will break it . Average size tires (275 60 15 or about 28" high) won't. As long as you can avoid wheel hop. I have broken several, but wheel hop and 35" tires don't go well with 12 bolts.
Why?

It will be for the engine in my sig. so it will have to deal with quite a little bit of power. As for wheels 275/60/15
