These are the same high strength axles that have been used in Toyotas for years. It eliminates the U-joints and replaces them with a CV joint type set-up. Also incorporates hardened 4340 chromoly shafts with 32 spline outer & 30 spline inner.

Best of all.....LIFETIME WARRANTY on breakage!!! My install pics are on page 4 or 5 of this thread....

Here's a pic someone else took of theirs that shows the difference between the stock (top) and Longfield (bottom) pieces. That red boot fits over the ball looking piece. They're being shipped today and they said it takes 4 business days. Hopefully this will buy me more time before Dana 60s.

 

Nice i was looking at these. How much did you pay for them? And where did you get them from?

 

very nice. first I have seen on a jk Are you gonna carry extra plungers incase you rip the boot on the trail?

 

I got the last set that will ever be in stock directly from Longfield. They are now sold through several distributors including RCV Performance (who makes them). They retail for around $1100.

 

I would have thought nothing less from you than a comment like that.

The covers aren't needed to function. The selling point is that besides maybe some gussetts and a little axle strengthening, these solve the breakage problem that most Rubcion Dana 44s runnig 40"+ tires get.

 

Easy now

Showing pictures like this just makes everyone twitch a little. Give a guy a little time to digest the beast before you just up and put a picture right there in our face. You gotta let someone post


then you can give us a photo like that!! I also noticed the bottome picture has the C2's all covered up with some kind of bracket and someone moved the poor guy's springs back off the stock location. I want the springs and everything else that's on that Jeep by the way!!

 

Thanks for the info. And you have one bad ass rig man

 

That was quick - Aug 09 edition of JP mag ran a short pitch on these axle shafts, great to see them on a rig so fast...

 

A few guys have been running them on the JK for a couple months now with no issues. And of course they have been in use with Toyotas for years so the design is tested true.

I hear the JK Rubicon OEM U-joint axle yoke ear will blow apart at 3872 ft/lbs wheras the Longfields twisted at 7604 ft/lbs. Another rig on this forum broke his OEM u-joint on a local AZ trail then installed these and tackled the same hill with no problems. So I have seen first hand what these are capable of.

 

Come on man... you know it looks like a plunger... hehe

for real those things are bad ass. that photo of them installed.... lwhos jk is that?

lol... when I first saw you putting 40s on that thing I thought it would never leave the road. hah. Wrong. Nice upgrade, I can't wait to see the install.
