Im not sure that this will help u but i thought i would give it a shot! I bought a Durablue +4 heavy duty axel for my 350x. Ya its a lil wide. I have never had a problem with stability issues. To buy the heavy duty axel you are going to have to buy the heavy duty bearing carrier too! It adds up $$$. Im satisfied with it. Hope this could help in any way.

I bought a +4 Lonestar For my 86 R over a year ago and love it, no problems. I am running the stock carrier, is that going to be a problem later on ?

they're both far superior to stock. Whatever one costs less, get it. & go for as WIDE as you can IMO! They both have lifetime warantys, so you bend/break it, no prob... they replace it! :beer

I would suggest you NOT get the Durablue Heavyduty ones though, they are for utility purposes mostly. I ordered one to save money, then read "not intended for jumping purposes" after getting it!?!?! WTF, sent it back directly to Durablue for the next grade up. Should have spent the $$ for the Eliminator +4 though & would if I do it over again... Durablue did tell me I could upgrade the one I have now just paying the difference when ever I wanted! :w00t:
