has anyone thread tapped the aluminum axle tubes to the aluminum gear casing?

is it better to tap them or just connect them like the stock setup with the nut and bolt.

I like the idea posted above in the sticky for the plastic one's but not sure if these integy one's will take a thread like plastic or just crack and strip real easy?

what do you guy's suggest?

I am also going to install new mip cvd's in both set's and was wondering if the stock and integy bearing size is going to remain the same as I am sure the provided integy bearing are junk to my BBB set of bearings and would preffer to use them still.

yeah that's the method in question but instead of plastic it's aluminum and I was wondering if they would just crack or strip theads in no time wich I would be better off leaving them alone type of thing.

I had gear access in mind but then thought wether I tapped them or not I still need to split the case so I will just bolt them in like normal.

I do have another question though about the bearing.

I have a complete big ball bearing kit installed throughout the truck.

now I have the integy gear case's here and am going to order the tubes and knuckles later today.

the integy set's come with their own bearing's.

my TTR MIP CVD's also come with their own bearing's.

what bearing's should I be sticking with here?

I know some may differ in size but I am hoping their all the same but what's the better bearing of the bunch here?

The bearings that come with the integy tubes are for the king pins. The big ball set will do the internal gears and axle tube. The bearings that come with the CVDs will replace the steering knuckle bearings, included in the big ball set, since the CVD need a 12mm x 8mm bearing. So it will be a combination of bearings but you will have enough.
