can you strengthen a front 10 bolt or a rear 12 bolt without replacing the entire axle?

Yes, in the front you can put in Chromoly axle shafts with full snap rings on the ujoints. In the rear you can do the warn full floater kit (expensive as hell ) or get good set of Moser Axle shafts or Superior Axle shafts and good timken bearings

When I first got my blazer I got Con-Ferr super skid axle trusses for my 10 and 12 bolt.Theyve kept my axles straight so far.I just replaced my 10 bolt with a dana 44 and am building a 12 bolt with Moser axles.

Have you used the full snap rings Dep??? Some guys on the Pirate board seem to not like them....

Its a PITA to grind the eyes on the axles to put in the snap rings, but I like them so far, I have not wheeled them much, I did however spit out a c clip that let the cup walk out which blew the joint which got all 4 ears on both axle shafts. Right now I would have to say I love em. Keith has been running the Warn Chromoly shafts in his front axle since he built it and has had no problems with the snap rings.

i htink the big thing over at Priate that they were not happy about is the full clip is harder to get on, especially on the trail..
