Theres another thread that says a mini spool is a no no...

Why is that?

If i have an 8.8 31 spline with a yukon carrier why won't a mini spool hold up?
 
Because of the c-clip design of the 8.8, the 8.8 mini spool cannot be one piece.



It has to be designed so you can get the c-clips installed. More parts, more machining, closer tolerances, etc means a weaker piece.



In the one I was running, one of the pieces that holds the cross shaft broke causing the whole rear to explode on Slickrock at Tellico. Plus with the 4.88 gears I had to clearance some of the ring teeth to get the cross shaft in as per Randy's R&P instruction.

Just my experience, yours may vary. With what I know now and my experience, I would not run a mini spool in an 8.8 again!
