Ok, but why would they only last a few thousand miles???
I did some reading and they said they are for racing only and not to be used for a street car??
Could they just have been a bad set??

Did they remove the thrust block from the differential?
Dont know what that in unfortunately.
I bought the SSBC rear disc kit and for whatever reason they mandated the ball berring type and not the tapered type.
Would this be for some clearance issue on the axles maybe??

If the thrust block is present it may put a load on the bearings, pushing out on them and leading to premature failure.
Well now this is interesting.
Maybe that is the case??
More than likely the case , the only way around it is to cut your axles if you have a cone type sure grip because the only way to remove the thrust block from a cone type is to disassemble the sure grip.

Stu there are hundreds of thousands of Toyota pickup trucks out there with the same basic radial ball bearings as your "green" bearings and they live long tortured lives for over 100K. The first question I ask when setting up a rear is what kind of axle bearings are you going to use? Rollers get the spacer and ball bearings do not. I would really call the expert Cass (doctordiff) for your options on tapered roller bearings if you don't want to disassemble your differential. There may be a bearing retainer that you can shim like a Ford pickup uses to adjust the axle endplay. Gus
