9.5 hybrid vs 8.6 for towing
So ive got a 9.5 hybrid here from a vortec max nnbs and my 10 bolt needs some 4.88's bad. Ive got 36" tires and tow around 5500-6000lbs. However the 9.5 needs axles,gears, diff etc. I guess my question is, is it worth it to build the 9.5 or do the gears and diff on the current 10 bolt?

If you are going to 4.88 gears the 9.5 will have a stronger Ring & Pinion and you would have 33 Spline axles compared to the 30 spline. Everything on the 9.5 is a win compared to the 10 bolt for what you want to accomplish.

Ive got a set of yukon 4.88's with less than 3k on them that ill make you a damn good deal on. Came out of my rockcrawler that had a 8.6" 10 bolt (zr2 blazer). Im swapping to a dana60 front and 14b full floater in the rear.
Hands down that 9.5" is way stronger, by the time you piece it together though youd probably be money ahead to just buy another complete one.
Long term the 9.5 would be the way to go but be alot more expensive, gears for the 10bolt would get you back in business for alot cheaper.

Looks like yukon and dorman sell them no? I actually have the axles but ones bent. I had the housing checked for squareness and its just fine but the flange its self is bent. Not a clue how it happened?
