Might as well upgrade my axle shafts

[Jesse]

So I need to replace the u-joints on both front axle shafts, but I think I’ll just move up to chromoly shafts. So here are a couple kits I’ve been looking at, any other recommendations are welcome.

Any input on these or other kits is more then welcome.

PORC ones are fine, if you really want bullet proof, go with 300m RCV shafts, they actually will challenge you to break them. (ex 40" tires on a D30 and a V8 try to break them)

But which PORC one? Any experiences about any kits at all?

Not sure what your long term goals are for your jeep setup and off roading but you might be able to find rubicon dana 44 axles or scout axles you could throw under your jeep and not be that much different in price from upgrading to stronger shafts? Just an idea. I once was faced with that option and decided to to go dana 44 front and rear and luv them. With arb's its a great combo. Good luck.

Rubicon 44 uses the same shafts as a D30 but 30 spline instead of 27, the weak point is the U-joint ears and they are identical in both axles.


Sorry, I ment the PORC ones as in their brand.. these ones PORC

I know a couple people running these, assuming you always use their U-joints, they will warranty them for life.


***Kind of a public service notice ***
I would avoid the ebay chomo made by dura solid.
The shafts are made in India and use sub-standard quality materials and will snap quickly. These used to be the supplier to Rany's R&P brand shafts, but due to high failure rate, they discontinued use and not source shafts from Yukon.

Ordered the PORC shafts. Stupid question time, the D30 isn't c-clip right?
