You can find 2.375" axles fairly easy.
Thats what I was running and broke a stub. But it had a pretty rough 16 months before it broke. Got another one to replace it for time being and the machining is wack on the stub. U joint would not seat for the final snap ring. Ended up having to grind on the ears to make it fit. I emailed TJ about it but never heard back. They are definitely a step above yukons or any other generic forged shaft out there but I believe that the legacy shafts are going to be the final answer.
Sorry.
Got a guy up here in MN that was regularly breaking Branik shafts, though I'm not positive they were legacy just that they were the "good" shafts, switched to RCV, broke them often enough they voided his warranty. Got with Ouverson and can't break em.
If they were legacy shafts, its a good possibility that it was before they were dialed in. I ran into the branik crew prolly 5 years ago and they were testing the latest legacy shafts at that point before release.
Damn those dutchmans are sweet.... may need to buy some for my kingpin 60...seems a fair price
Since my ouverson ujoints may never show up I installed the Yukon joints in the dutchman shafts. They assembled well. One ear on an inner was a little tight but overall it was pretty painless. Zero issues installing in the axle as one would expect. ECGS slugs fit the stubs and the solid ind hubs perfect. I feel like assembly can be hit or miss with so many aftermarket parts.
I have yukon joints as well waiting for me to buy my shafts....cool
I just did a MW EZ Align kit. They had my kit made in a little over two weeks. Packing was very tidy, fit and finish of the parts was extremely high quality.
I had originally ordered Overson joints but they reached out and said they were out of stock for awhile and offered to refund my money. I took the refund and ordered CTMs instead. Seems I made the right decision.
Ive heard the same for gears. From what I understand the strength is the same but they may be more noisy.
Look at all the ultra 4 guys running 1480 300m spidertrax/branik stuff. Add in a good joints and its a pretty legit setup.Those guys beat the snot out of those parts.Okay 4340 Legacy VS. 300m, cost VS. strength? The difference in price is pretty big especially on outers since I have a KP axle. I can't fit 40spline inners and it's pretty salty to do 40spline outers. Worth getting 300m inners since they are only $200 more a pop? I'm done buying who evers off the shelf shafts and having them machined only to break ever inner the same way.
Where are the material geeks at, break it down for me
300m. Best I can remember when talking with Branik, Stan told me their 4340 shaft is around 35% stronger than a standard yukon and 300m was basically 100% stronger than a yukon. I went to a 40 spline stub but left the inner 35 spline legacy 300m. Ive straight beat my shit on multiple occasions since install to the point that I would have quit and backed off when I was running dutchman shafts. These legacy shafts keep asking for more. I have basically zero concerns about them but I am still somewhat reasonable most the time. Im not treating them like big bell rcv guys do all the time either though. It is 100% worth the money. And the good thing about money is it's a renewable resource every two weeksOkay 4340 Legacy VS. 300m, cost VS. strength?

renewable.... hahahahaha now that got a laugh out loud here... Also, since we are social media friends, you can search my name in rock buggies FB group for posts. Ive asked about material differences multiple times on there with some really good feedback but some are conflicting. At the end of the day, I trusted Braniks opinion.Okay 4340 Legacy VS. 300m, cost VS. strength? The difference in price is pretty big especially on outers since I have a KP axle.
