Possible Cause of Spider Gear Destruction

8.25

2WD Ramchargers had the 8.25 for a while...I had an 87 so equipped. If driveshaft length did not come into play a 9.25 would have done me fine. The only 9.25 I had was in an 85 4x4 Ramcharger.

So, what is the best bang for the buck way to strengthen the 8.25 I have sitting in my driveway when I re-gear it...sure grip? Or is there something better out there now?
