Title kind of states it. I'd like to talk who makes axle shafts, quality, turn around time, and warranty.
In my specific case, I have a narrowed Dodge kingpin d60(-7" off long side) I have a local shop that can shorten my stock Spicer. But I'm going over other options. Rig is "s10ish sized" big block cady with 35" tires. Rig will hit Rubicon for technically done wheeling.
Yukon makes a 4340 shaft that seems to be reasonably priced... except for no-custom length. Also have a limited lifetime warranty... not sure how good it is.
Branic does a forged 4340 shaft that seems to be reasonably price. They also have Legacy Billet that look nice but are into the range of RCVs. They claim "limited lifetime warranty with the use of chromoly ujoints". Not sure definition of chromoly ujoint nor how good the warranty is.
Moser does "aircraft quality 4140 American Made Metals". Price feels a bit high and unsure what type of warranty if any exists.
Dutchman does 4340 shaft that "breaks the bank". I'm not sure what makes them worth 50% more than other shafts and unsure what type of warranty if any exists.
RCV does a big birfield with a big price
They claim "No Questions Asked" limited lifetime warranty. Not sure how this works out in the real world though.
Anyone have input on the above? Or have someone I missed?
