That s A LOT of spacer. Why not just run dodge dually pickup 80 and have no 4" spacer

Well the thinking was that the shorter shafts of the c&c axle would be a little bit stronger and not so much twist and spring back. I was breaking alot of stuff and was trying to be as strong as possible.

Kind of.. I did break a stock Dana 80 35 spline shaft then I upgraded to chromoly. Then I broke the spider gears. But then I put in too big of injector and the truck got soft and then the season was over. So it kinda worked.

850hp maybe around 1600 tq. It's the hops at the shifts or the load when the converter locks that gets it
