The truth is the 8.5-inch 10-bolt is almost as strong as a 12-bolt since its ring-gear diameter is only 0.375 inch smaller than a 12-bolt (8.50 versus 8.375 inches) and the pinion gear shaft is an equal diameter.
Even better, the 8.5 rear axle assembly was the universal rear end for millions of GM cars and trucks from 1971 through 1996, that means there CHEAP to find named the GM 8.5 corp diff

Rod, your saying your running GM axles? What rear brake package are you running? Do you experience significant pad knock back?
