[QUOTE="fl-krawler, post: 330044, member: 884"] I am really torn.. In the front I have no real worries (I haven't broken a front axleshaft in almost 10 years of heavy wheeling). If I go with the superduty setup in the back, the one thing that really worries me, even if I go with a rockwell sized joint is fact that the stub shaft is so short (which in theory will make it break easier) because I would have to go with '11 and newer knuckles and unit bearings to be able to remove a rockwell sized shaft without removing the knuckle. For that reason I would probably stay with 40 spline RCV's with the 1 ton sized joint, and the '05 unit bearing/knuckle since the stub is longer. Basically it comes down to that, and the fact that is I go superduty now, I will save a little now, but I will get hammered later. This is how I am breaking it down: Superduty axle..........$250 (for the inner C's, knuckles and unit bearings) machine work to the inner c...free-$200 RCV shafts.................$2200 (maybe less but I will have to shop around) OR Rockwell knuckle cut offs...........$500 Machine work to make them mate to round tube...Free-$200 ouverson 40 spline rockwell shafts...............$1500 If I go with the superduty setup and find it doesn't hold up, I will be out not only the money for the intial setup, but going back to rockwell stuff. There is no arguement that the ford stuff will be substantially lighter than the rockwell stuff though. I have a few weeks to make up my mind, so I'm not in a huge rush to make a decision. [/QUOTE]
