I'm sorry but your steel basket is gonna destroy bushings faster. There is no if ands or buts about it.
I go through bushings every season. I ride all whooped out trails in 4-5 gear wide open. Te impact the shoots through my driveline is intense. I know this because I've broken more clutch components chasing the weakest link then I'd like to admit. The shock is absorbed by the weakest point. The bushings. I've had them all. I only run the mattoons that you need to freeze and still beat in with a hammer now. A Hinson spring loaded is on my list. They last the whole season, but are beat. No other ones. So I can't see how your now heavy rotating basket won't blow them out! Unless you ride like a girl. But you say your so rough on shit you need all billet forged alloy steel heat treated and x rayed. So how are the bushing holding up? The backing plates? I had a long discussion with cam,Hinson and mattoon about backing plate/bushing/bolt combos. Bushings contracting under load press out against backing plates. Blowing the bolt heads off. Again, I've dealt with this multiple times.
Great you have all these degrees. I have 6 backing plates, 100s of bushings, broken baskets, broken gears that I can show you. That all relate back to the bushings.
