a full spool is lighter and stronger

And can be had for less than a $190 mini spool, well ok you do have to buy bearings and install (set backlash) on it.

The $190 price I put up was for a full spool through strange engineering. But there probably other companies that sell them for cheaper

My bad thought you meant $190 for a mini spool yeah a full spool is the best choice in that price range

Dude come on asking if they still make minispools for a 8.75 and everyone proceeds to tell him how much better full spools are. LOL! Gotta love internet forums...

Well I did look and see if strange made the mini ones, but they didn't, that when I saw their full ones
I bought one years ago seems like $29 probly from Mancini but they don't list them any more.

I haven't seen one for sale in years. I couldn't find any from the typical vendors when I looked.
I ran one on a low-buck Duster I had 15 years ago. I loved it.
I put one in my sons cuda 15 years ago , still in there never had a problem with it. car runs 11.40s in the 1/4 mile. wanting to put some street gears in .

^^^ my bad. Well don't think they make them anymore, so I go back to my original post and go with a full spool. I HELPED and look at strange, Mark williams and richmond, no mini' s.
Thanks. I checked on summits site and found nothing. I check it out more. this one looks like the one I remember, but they probly all look close.

True story.....
I installed a mini spool into a factory cone style sure grip unit over 20 years ago....
I believe I machined 1/8” off of the cones(the side where the spring plate is) and the mini spool fit. I might have machined the cones for the mini spools axle splines to be “located” too... IIRC
Perhaps beer induced but it worked!

Try Dr Diff.
Doctor Diff has a full spool for cheap. Mopar 8 3/4" (8.75) Lightweight Spool
If you're going to go with a spool or a mini spool I highly recommend that you have aftermarket axles.
So if you're going to aftermarket axles go 35-spline with the axles and the spool it's a lot stronger than the 30s. That's only about $50 more total maybe less.
