aftermarket axles

[gmcjimmy4x4]

What are your guys opinion of aftermarket axles for the 10 bolt. I just returned from a rough trip. I broke both front axles and a lift block which caused rear u joint failure.( thank god for the winch) After getting a new u joint hiked 2 miles into the trail, We were able to slowly get out to pavement with 2 wheel drive and alot of winching. But still had to have it towed home. Id like to swith to d60 but i already have invested so much into the 10 bolt. ARB, 8Lug, Hubs. those d60's are so expensive , thought i might try the hardend aftermarkets first.

If you are set on staying with a 10 bolt and dont mind spending money on it through some cromos and CTMs in it and I bet it would be good. What size tire are you running? Also get rid of the block in the rear and then you wont have to worry about breaking them .

says he's running 37s in his profile, chromos and CTMs he'd probably be ok.

Yep chromos, CTMs and a shackle flip sounds like all you need.

why the shackle flip

better flex, better ride, gets rid of blocks.
