Shopping for front axles , Saw these listed on amazon .. USA Standard Gear (ZA W24164) 4340 Chromoly Axle Kit with Spicer Joint for Jeep JK Non-Rubicon ... just curious if anyone is running these axles . Price looks good

 

Haven't seen any reviews on them, but you might look at some options that come with more than a 1-year warranty. TenFactory and G2 both have 10-year warranties. Also verify what exactly is covered. Some cover broken shafts only, and will not cover it they are bent/twisted/worn. For rear shafts, both tenfactory and g2 will warrant bent flanges, where other mfg's do not. There can also be differences in the metals used, (4140/4340/4130), and some offer dual/triple bolts patterns, which can be a plus for future upgrade plans.

So just a suggestion to look beyond the low, low price tag to see what you are actually getting...

 

You'll most likely break a u joint before you break a shaft. So, chromoly shafts is sort of pointless. The reason you see people going with RCVs is that it covers both parts. You won't break the CV joint and the shaft is pure beef.

What front axle are you running? If you have a 30, probably better to leave the stock shafts as a fuse rather than the ring and pinion.

Just carry a spare u joint if you wheel hard and worry about breaking one.
