give us a call at the shop. WE can set you up with some serious strength, after all i come from the high end Desert racing industry where strength is survival. For that Kind of power you are looking at some 1.25" F-K heims with 4130 arms fully TIG welded arms and some 4140 Light Racing recievers. When it comes to building some super strong arms, we are the ones to call. Even if you are going to do the fab yourself we can set you up with the Heims, recievers, and even CNC cut out 4130 plating for the arms as well. We could set you up with something like this, but alot stronger because of the horsepower.





We CAD design all the parts we make and stress test even before any metal is even cut.

here is a F-K 1.25" heim, 125,000 LB rating!!!

Full floater axle. Basically, the norm is a semi-floating axle in which the axle inner end is supported by the diff, and the outer end/hub is supprted by a bearing which also supports the weight of the vehicle. A full-floater has a seperate hub assembly, supported by 2 bearings, that support the vehicle weight. The axle inner end is splined to the diff, and the outer end is splined to a "drive plate" which is bolted to the hub and mounts over the wheel studs. In this design, the axle supports NO weight, only rotational forces. This allows the axle shaft to be designed only to handle rotational forces and can be theoretically stronger

My setup...
-L-D fabricated Full-floater 9" w/Stock Car Products snouts
-Nodular third member
-31-spline detroit locker/3.25 gears
-Stock Car Products hubs/bearings/drive plates


hope this helps
EDIT: added better pics in my original post to better illustrate a "full-floater"
