Well im probly getting a set of 38" Michelin ZXLs from a guy i know. They were on his Toyota so the wheels are 6lug. So they will fit on the 12bolt and D44 i have. So how long do you think those axles will last with a 7.0L Caddy in front :lol:

Well they are decent axles, but I have seen very mild small blocks snap them in the right ( or should I say wrong ) Conditions.
