I have to agree with the danger issue. my thinking after I bought
mine rig with the small read=r axle was,after reading all the bad
stuff on here about the dangers of it was I was mad. at myself and
all the talk about how dangerous it was. Then I thought, if I were to
go camping and went around a mountain road somewhere and it were to
break, the camper may go over the side, if someone were with me and
they got killed would I be able to live with myself knowing it would
have only cost me a $1000.00 to save their life. I couldn't drive my
rig until I got it fixed knowing that. I read a whole lot of bad
stuff about it. When you have the small rear end with all the weight
on the axle, when you go around a turn or a curve all the weight goes
to the side of the axle. The axle is what the wheel bolts too. The
small read axles were I think 3/4 ton rear ends. there is much more
weight than that on the side of the axle. On the 1 ton, the axle is
floating (it has NO WEIGHT on it) .. all the weight sits on the hub
and bearings..which are really big..like a 18 wheeler..so.. I spent
the money and am changing it now. I couldn't live with myself after I
am informed with the right information..anyhow..good luck..Thomas
