Gream how old are your Dutchmans? From what I understand the old Dutchmans were Superiors rebadged but now their something else.
My Dutchman rears are like 8 years old and still going strong.

If you go dutchman go with the more expensive option. I have been running yukons and havent twisted them, i know jeepmauler has and they were warrantied :;

EDIT:I just re-read the topic...REAR shafts

:looser: **** if I know....somethin strong:redneck:

Such a loaded question.

In a perfect world I'd have bobby CV's....but then I'd start breaking knuckles,more R/P's etc.....somethings gotta give.I know Barry and a bunch of the Pheonix crew run Jack's 300M set up

I have been twisting YUKON shafts but nothing's broke(knock on wood) and the service/warranty at YUKON is #1.('cept for the punks at willcall:flipoff: )

I have been 20+ hrs from home and yardsaled my ****(a number of times) and it sucks ass....with youre unlimited budget Gram...I'd say go Bobby Long:redneck:

The axle is about a year and a half old. I thought the new dutchmans were Yukons? I got Yukons up front and am very happy with them.

Is that where the guys that wheel live?

Moneypit1 · Apr 24, 2008

I wouldn't know. I just e-wheel.

Seriously though, how hard would it be to get another carrier, broach (sp) it for 40 splines, weld it up and buy some 40 spline axles.

The cost of upgrading to 40s is insignificant in the big picture.

And if you find a few extra bucks, buy a Detroit while you're at it.

Can you bore a D60 full float spindle to accept 40 spliners? I dont think so...

Nah Detroits break too easy, they dont like recoil of broken axles

Yes, yes it is

I've got the old school cut the spline to fit off the shelf Randy's shizzy from about 8 years ago...

They're barely twisted, and I mean you have to look hard. Don't know what's happened to their newer stuff?

Turtle Bite · Apr 25, 2008

The problem is that Moser and Dutchman use 1541H axles that are only marginally stronger than stock, which is good enough for drag cars and rear axles 95% of time.

If you really want unbreakable you are going to need to go to 40 spline or 4340, as far as I know that is Sandy Cone stuff but I have never asked about special ordering 4340 from Superior. When I went shopping for 35 spline it all was 1541H from Yukon, Dutchman, and Moser and between those three they didnt offer 4340 when I asked.
