-Oh no I picked a side-
With the quality and design of the spidertrax stuff--its hard to steer away from it. Anotjer nice feature is the splined shafts with replaceable yoke ends. Always seem sensles to blow the yoke on the shaft and have the shaft junk....

It's hard not to get everthing from spidertrax, it's all PIMP isn't it? They almost got me on the 9" diffs. If the damn ARB could take some abuse, i'd be getting the full shebang

uke: Even with the quality of the high9 I have read way too much bad about the arb issues....Clark

the word is, if you let a properly set up the 9" arb fully engage, it will break a 300m shaft before it fails.
Crash locking(no pun:fawkdancesmiley
is what does the damage, the 60 can take it, the 9 can't, atleast not nearly as much or as long as the 60 will.
The Mega Hi9 with 5.40's and a spool is stronger than a d60 :eeek: Too bad i don't want spool F/R or i'd have gotten it. Even the detroits have some 9" problems, not like the ARB though.

Ring and pinion strength. Mega Hi9 5.47 gear has 4pinion teeth contacting the ring gear at all times and two load bolts keeping the ring gear from difflecting. hp60s 5.13 gear has 1.5 pinion teeth contacting the ring gear, and no load bolts. You do the math. If your set on running arbs go with a 60 for sure.

if I did it again I would run a dana 60 center and all of spidertrax outer stuff it is hands down the best stuff I have seen and they have the best customer support in the whole industry. That being said I am not that bumbed about my nine inch stuff it does have its advantages over dana 60 stuff but i would like to run a arb again in the rear but it aint going to happen with the nine inch for me. Clark you really should buy spidertrax axels these are far nicer than anything on the market and these guys stand behind there product 100% no questions asked:redneck:
as far as James goes I think he is happy he copied me and got the spider stuff and didnt stick with the toyota stuff he thought would work:fawkdancesmiley:

the pimp thing about the 9" is the pilot bearing that really helps to keep gear deflection down. I would still run a 60 though.

Who other than Kelly (BigIron) has broken their hp 60 R&P? I think he ran 6.17's and is 7000lbs with a 464ci big block, on 44" Boggers, and 4 wheel steer.
Other than him, anyone else round here?

In my eyes--doesn't matter how or why an ARB fails--if it fails on a constant basis (those who run them in comps are constantly tearing them down to replace that nice part :awesomework
.
This is mild compared to others ive seen.

the failure shown above is typical of a 9" with leaf springs.
axle wrap GENERALLY causes that typoe of failure.
seen it many times as well.

My buddy has a huge leaf pack that doesnt flex well at all and it has some traction bars that are about 5 feet long like the deisel drag guys run.
Trust me its the 42s and beer that kills them!:haha:

LOL, the mega hi 9 is the strongest. It's locker choice,
arb=60
detroits or spools= mega hi9
how bad do you want an ARB?:;
arb=60
