Put a '72 D100 together & the only third member I have laying around at the moment is a 3.90 with a spool. I'm going to daily the thing for a while & it may be a month or so before I get it swapped. What's the chances of snapping an axle? I've got the tires pumped up to 40 psi so they don't hook up as good & hopefully spin easier & I try to make all my turns wide & take the straightest paths through parking lots. Got a line on a 3.55 open but it's going to need gone through.

I've run a spool on street an I think It matters how big your tires are and how you drive. I would power up slitly on turns to help one tire slip
Have a great day Iowan

Ran 4:30s in a 75 D100 440 4 speed , stock axles and spool for about 5 years(28k miles) , ran those old Mickey Thompson I tread tires on the street.
