Except for the C clips and welding the center up.

The nice thing is that even though the C clip eliminators suck you can buy a weld on end that uses a 9 inch bearing to eliminate the c clip and not have the leaking issue that the aluminum eliminator kits have...

welding the center up isnt a big deal, and it has disk brakes so they can keep the axle in place if i break one. as tough as i've seen these 8.6 rears hold up, i cant see myself breaking the 31 spline.

It's usually not the spline but the actual clip that fails or the nub of the axle that retains the clip... There definitely a tough SOB for sure.... I would run one in an S10 over the factory rear end any day.
