Read the beginning of the thread I think 27s are too big for stock stuff

I love 23 skiddys. But there is always a risk with stock axles but its worth it to me. Not having 500 horses helps too.

All I can find on these is 4 ply. Do you double them? What size do you double with?

Ok I was just curious if you have any trouble with them popping. But I suppose it's such a small target it shouldn't be much trouble. Thanks Stromi, appreciAte it.

27 8.50 15 or 25 8.50 14. 25s are on the borderline for being too short for me to have adequate ground clearance at the end of the derby in full size stock classes. Sucks to be out because the rear tires can't grip well enough to move in mud. Then again, it sucks to bend rims and or break axles due to too tall of tires, and 27s are right on the line of being too tall.

I run 8.8s a lot, honestly in damn near every vehicle I build because I could care less. I've never had an axle break, never. And we're talking 28 spline f150s and vics. I've got a 8.8 set up for durango that's been around a while, and still hasn't broke an axle. Now, this is also with using doubled and tubed 27s and 25s. Now, I know these axles aren't the strongest, but if it's what you got, use it. Don't be afraid, just learn how to use the brakes. I'm not saying its stupid to throw a beefier rear under your car, trust me, if you got the means and money, do it. But if we're talking a stock car, or semi stock, I wouldn't worry.
