eeeewwww!

dude those joints are crap.

Based on??

Don't like the attitude there son.

Another product can be better, but that doesn't make this product crap. :nono:



Let's see you get your's built and get some trail time in it, then see if you want to talk big.

No need for Yukon, ox, or CTMs for most guys. I bought 806 spice joints those should hold fine with my alloy usa shafts. The 35spline warn hub will be the weak link or my drive shafts. If I upgraded to an ARB, flanges and better drive shafts I could have Ujoint issues. But be realistic I have a v8 auto dualcases and 42s.

I agree. Most guys will never break a stock Spicer D60 u-joint. If 37's is as big as you'll ever go, which is true if you stay full bodied, I'd see no reason to not use Spicer u-joints and Spicer axle shafts. Guys with tires much larger than 37's are running 35 spline Spicer D60 stuff and not breaking. How many recreational wheelers are breaking Spicer or 1541 alloy 35 spline rear axles?

For what you're doing, I wouldn't worry about expensive D60 shafts and joints.

well the 35's look Very small and I could not seriously find a place (with semi soft landing or even close that was less then a 20' wall) that I could put it over on its side at the 7" lift I am at, out at TDS. I wanted to see how stable or unstable it was now with no body and prolly like 85-90% of the wieght very low.

So now I am ready to step up to a 37-40" tire and lift it maybe 2 more inches and the 30 I dont think will survive, as well as I am out of stuff to do to it right now, and with O.C.D. I had to find something to work on. :gee:

I am thinking that 2 maybe 3" more and a 2" taller tire with 4" wide track should still be very stable. not to mention I want to go in the 5's for gears and the 8.8 with chromo shafts now and fully trussed and such should be fine up to a 37 maybe 39.5?
