[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 329884, member: 884"] Ok, so I sold the buggy I was building about a month ago. I kept the axles, planning to use them for a new chassis build that I am starting. I've decided To go lighter, and drop some additional ride height. To do this I was going to run a Ford Superduty front HP60, stuffed with a Currie 35 spline HP70 gear set. In the back I'm going with a 40 spline 14bolt. Buggy will still be rolling on 47 LTB's and Raceline wheels. The buggy will have a 700hp L92/6L80/Stak 3 speed. I am far from a rock bouncer, but I will hammer the buggy when needed (with a 6k buggy, 49 irocks and 400hp, a set of stock rockwell shafts would last me about 4-6 months of wheeling every weekend) I am shooting for a sub 5k weight on this new one. My delima is in choosing my knuckles and inner C's. In the front, I planned to run the superduty stuff (since it was already on the axle) and due to the fact that a rockwell shaft will fit, if I ever need more strength (I was planning to go with a set of RCV's, or Ouverson rockwell shafts resplined to 40 spline) The rear is where most of my concern is. Originally I was just going to use some rockwell knuckle cutoffs, and 40 spline rockwell shafts and call it a day (I already have Ouverson super-8 hubs). The cutoffs will run me roughly $500 (less if I buy an entire axle, and part out everything I don't use). The last few days though, I have been thinking about just buying another superduty HP60, and using the knuckles and inner C's from it (I can buy '05/newer superduty 60's all day long for less than $300 from the local salvage yard). My thoughts were that if it did break, I could always upgrade the parts to rockwell stuff, but if it proved strong enough I could eventually upgrade to Spidertrax's pro series wheel hubs (which are stupid light). What does everybody else think? For building the axles themselves I am hugely budget minded, since I have many other parts to buy for the buggy, but once it is finished and I go to buy shafts, I really won't have a budget limit on those (but I do want something that will be reliable).
