Heavy Duty auto hubs???

hey guys, i was just wondering if i could switch my hubs over to automatic? would they be as strong as manual hubs? ive seen automatics get twisted to pieces...also i have a rear end question, can anyone tell me where i can get a good posi/or locking carrier? and my finalllll question; im picking up a spare T-case..is there anything i can do to beef it up?? keep in mind im trying to get everything as strong as i can...launching my 7720lb truck isnt too easy on everything lol

I don't think you have anything to worry about with the T-case. luke, tubzz, dockboy, and imelmo all run (to the best of my knowledge) stock t-cases. Of course they don't run that much power or very many passes down the track

One up side to not having them is that you can use 2wd low.

To answer your question there is no such thing as a "heavy duty automatic locking hub". Since your gonna be launching your truck on asphalt (Im assuming drag racing and the asphalt part) you should really get the Warn Premium hubs.
