I am sure you know this, but what breaks a rear end is traction in addition to torque. Like Case advised, if you were to put some slicks on it and had lots of torque, and gripped hard, you could be breaking things. A little slip in the tires is a good thing, it will save some $$$$.

Resized Image But im the kind of person like believes very strongly in being safe rather than sorry. Id much rather spend the money up front and be satisfied if done what i can to prevent failure. If it never happened, i may save some money by not doing these things, but if it did, i know it will cost me less to upgrade before breakage!!

Having said that, the choice is all yours and you are really the only one who can say what's right for you, all we can ever do is offer our suggestions based on what we believe is right for you.
