I'm not blaming ford at all nor the dealer that lifted it lol i know what caused it I'm not bashing anyone just wondering different options for beefing it up but I will just go Oem and be carful .and the wheels don't have crazy offset 0, 4.75 back spacing. See these guys on YouTube doing burn outs with 37s all day long , people towing huge trailers running 35s+. I don't hall or tow anything. The only thing that I've hauled with the truck is a new toilet and I have 3 cast iron break drums in the back for weigh but they weren't in there as u was supposed to use the truck to move today .

Completely missed the left rear axle part. Just saw axle shaft and figured it was a cv. My apologies.

not to imply you don't beat your truck like a bad dog, but an LS will be easier on things than a full locker.


honestly wish I had an LS over a locker. far more useful. might do LS in front, or ill talk about it and retire it to perpetual discussion.

Oh no doubt it's easier on the axle vs a locker but I have a 10 and my electronic nannies aren't as severe as the newer trucks and my LS is pretty damn tight. It locks up quick and I can do two wheel burn outs with it.

This is my first LS as I had a full time locker in my Jeep and loved it off road but it was a bitch on the road! I was skeptical about OEM LS with clutch packs but I'm really impressed with it.

I'm also not pushing heavier 35" tires only LTs in 33".

It's all good I did see those though and going to keep doing some research to bulletproof all around.

Looks like it snapped right at the C clip area!

Yep right outside of the carrier was a pain in the butt got her all put back together smooth as glass. $416 for axle shaft, fluid, wheel seal and o ring that sits in the c clip groove and $16 for a can of the right stuff to reseal the diff cover. I get all parts on our wholesale account so saved me some money.

Wow. My Lightning has probably thousands of launches on the same stock rear end pulling one front tire off the ground with slicks with no issues. Not to mention all the other 700+ hp Lightnings running the stock rears. These rears are stupid strong.
