prepping the housing with caps, studs, and other parts/labor, at a minimum, the aftermarket unit is cheaper.

Alan Is it possible to run the "Gun Drilled" 35 spline MW axles in the "factory GM 12-bolt housing?
I've already replaced the tubes w/ DOM tubes, and added MW caps?
Is it safe to run the smaller bearings?
The Moser housings for the A & G bodies do not incorporate the "bumper tab" for Weibe Suspensions?
