Overkill mods thread?

If i was breaking 30 spline aftermarket axles, I would sell it and replace it with a 60.

14 bolt is way cheaper.

35 spline 4140 chromoly axles are $350... (new ARB/Ox carrier needed though)

I meant a 60 swap vs a 14 bolt swap.

I would go with a shaved disk brake 14 any day.

More ground clearance than a standard factory Dana 60 too. Although I am not sure how much shave is required for that, it may also require a shaved ring gear.

Not to mention a Dana 60 can be shaved as well. So it really comes down to an in depth comparison.

What is it about a 14 bolt that makes it cheaper? Or better?

I can find them for $50 a pop here, plus stronger, although heavier.

We are derailing the thread.
Bigger shafts, some of the new gens are 1541 chromoly from the factory. Bigger ring gear, pinion support, and incredibly cheap; csn be found around here for $100-$200. Tons of support and proven as a great one ton swap rear axle.

They do lack ground clearance from the factory and are very heavy.

PM me or start a new thread about it. There are tons of info on the other forums and websites that support all this.
