Cryoing drivetrain parts

JPTHING · Mar 29, 2007

I just bought some Alloy shafts, and it was suggested that I get my shafts Cryoed, to add more strength. Is this a good idea, is this going to make a huge difference, or is this unnecessary.

If by Alloy you mean the company Alloy USA, and you bought their chromoly axle shafts then no, I don't think that's necessary. (Although Alloy USA shafts have not been favorably reviewed.) I've been told that just because you can cryo something doesn't mean you should. Parts like r&p and t-case shafts are a good place to start.

Just my ignorant ass .02 cents

These are Yukon shafts I know I could have gotten some badass shafts, but I have Yukons in the rear, and they seem to be just fine. Plus I figured that they are the only ones that I could pick up the same day.

From the people that have actually run them, I've been told Yukon's are a good quality (strong) shaft. Forget the cryo, spend your time and $$$ elsewhere.

I am running Spicer joints, but I will be upgrading soon to the BL 300m joints. I had wheeled every weekend since I got it back together with stock 1970's shafts, and joints.
