I Need to be Shafted!

I've had GREAT luck with my Superior shafts. After talking to the guys at the plant, they are probably the only one's I'd concider. Throw in some CTM u-joints and you should be good.

Do you know the differnce between the discovery shafts and the evolution shafts? Besides $$

Being a Toyota guy I'm partial to the Longs. Great product, great service, great warranty, great guy. My guess would be that they have a good resale value so when you finally do upgrade you can get a chunk of that money back. If you go cheaper, at least make sure to get something with a good warranty. It would really suck to throw that much money away!

Just to confuse things...I also agree with John. He's not kind to his axle and it takes what he throws at it!

How about option #5. No warranty, but I doubt he'd let you down.

You might try to get in touch with Lee (Super X). He may still have some alloy axle shafts he needs to sell. I believe they were Superiors.

If Lee still has some I would definitely be interested. Doesn't look like he has been on the board in a week or so. Did he upgrade his front end?

The evo shafts are stronger and made to twist 180 degrees without breaking 😏

Lifetime warranty too...

You might try sending him a PM maybe he'll get the email notification.



When I talked to him it sounded like he had started acquiring parts to build up a Rubicon D44 front end but then he ended up buying another complete front end.

I just called Lee to let him know about this topic.

Lee needs to use the internet more...it's a pain having to call him all the time 😂

Wow. white glove web-master service 🙂

Hi guys, Yes I do know how to use a computer. Yes I still have the axles. Please call or Pm me.

Okay, who taught Lee how to use his computer? 😂

Lee-pm coming your way. Thanks Fred

So one other question. Superiors do not warranty their shafts if there is a failure due to the u joint. But alloy has a no questions asked warranty. Superiors are made in the usa, alloys are not. If I bought longfields there is no u joint to worry about. superiors I would need ctms, ox joints or yukon joints.



I'm really liking the alloys for $500 with no questions asked 10 year warranty. Any thoughts?

I just don't see how you can go wrong with Superiors and CTMs.

I've proven my D44 can hang with 37s at the Hammers, Little Sluice, and Fordyce for many years now.

But, it's your baby and you have to rock it. Ultimately it's your decision and your money.

No doubt in my mind its one of the best set ups. I just want don't want to buy 600-700 dollar shafts and then spend 500 bucks on joints. Why can't 4 wheeling be cheaper?? :rasta:



Thanks for your imput John 🍺

I know what you mean...but rest assured you'll kick yourself even harder when you throw away that $1,000.00 when you upgrade to 60s. Now that's four wheeling 😂

You do have the factory D44 front axle don't you? Do you have a Warn hub conversion? Can he run CTM's if he doesn't have unlockable hubs?

I'm not sure...but hubs are a good idea with that setup anyways...the hubs become the "fuse".

I do not have the hub kit. But you can run ctms without it. Its just more wear on them.



Thanks For your help FAM. 🍺 I now have some cool torque wrenches. 😁
