How is everyone doing floaters? Not the same as a 10 bolt is it? Semi float or full float? What axle is it?

If it was me, I'd buy a spool. But, if you don't wanna spend the cash, pull the cover and weld it up.

And with a spool I can up my ratio right? Or do I have to buy spool and gears? Never built or even rebuilt a rear so kinda feel dumb..lol. I know how go weld 10 bolts if that helps lol

You can weld it pretty much the same process. A spool doesn't change the gears. The gears can be changed with a standard carrier. A spool locks the rearend to make it posi. That d-60 is limited slip more than likely. You can buy a full spool for about 200, and if you are planning to keep this diff and use it, I'd get the spool.

If you weld it now and it breaks, you'd only have to buy the full spool unless you tear gears and bearings up.

I'm running a single cab 3/4t 4wd pick up, it has a corporate 14 with 700-15 snow tires that are fairly aggressive. It has a worn out stock 318/727. I run on smaller tracks that aren't terribly muddy but aren't dry either. What gears should I consider. I dont want to go too low as im pretty sure the engine wont take the rpms. TIA

TIA 4.56's sure do wake up w tired motor. Unless your tracks are Colorado large that's my advice.

I can’t remember exactly where I seen it. But is it a better choice to run a spool than gears? I mostly run figure 8s but i didn’t know what pros and cons would be running a spool. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m running/building a 72 dodge polara. Has 8.75 rear end under it.

A spool and gears are two different things. A Spool is the the same thing as welding your gears essentially, just more reliable. A spool replaces your entire carrier.
