Sorry, all the 4x4's i knew were in the 400's, a friend of mine has been through six gear boxes but had no problems with the rear diff is the best i can offer.

on his behalf, hope you don't mind me asking while you wait patiently for any answers...

what have you done with your gear box to uprate it for 500+

keep it standard for now, and save for when it blows!
I have heard of big power saff's running standard transmission, but they arn't getting used violently.
Castle performances was 500+ and on standard everything.
