I have actually found a decent amount of parts for the rear through randy's ring and pinion. Such as the impossible to find 3.73 gear set for the 2.77 carrier, new posi units (big$$$$$) and bearing kits (can't get axles anywhere though). I've been reading up on this rear a lot because it's in my car already. My engine builder says they break axles because of the step down tube diameter and I've heard that if you weld the tube to the housing you can lower your chance of snapping the axle.

I'm not running a trans break but i am running MT DR's 255/50/16. Does any one have any experience with this rear and the mods I've outlined above?

P.S. I will be getting a Moser 9" next season, but i want to run the car this season and would like the 9 bolt to last through the year (that is unless i grenade it englishtown).
