That outside portion that is threaded is really thin, it also has a groove cut in it for the lock ring, and the housing weighs over 100# alone. I have seen it happen before.

nice...I have been giving thought to how to use 15" factory rims without spacers on those FF hubs. prolly couldn't use the factory rear disks tho...you got any idears?
Last year, I got a great idea to replace the 8" e-locker rear axle in my '86 mini truck, with a 9.5" full float cruiser diff. I have already tossed one ring and pinion, plus lost a wheel spacer on the freeway, so I knew it was time to put something in the truck I trusted.
After some planning, I started collecting the following parts to build a 61" wide centered 9.5" rear diff.
