I planned to purchase R&G front axles to pair with a 30-spline Yukon free spin hub kit. Apparently, the Yukon kit utilizes the 5-760 spicer U-joint, but the R&G front axles do not use that u-joint. Can anyone (potentially @Jerry Bransford) confirm if this is true?
I have Yukon outer stub shafts (came with the hub kit), so my known options are to:
Opinion request: Is it worth upgrading from stock inner shafts to the C.O. inner shafts? (my priority is mechanical strength & reliability)
Additional info:
- I'm going with 5.38 gears, Eaton Elockers, R&G rear axles w/ 5x5.5" bolt pattern, and the Yukon 30-spline hub kit w/ 5x5.5" bolt pattern.
- I need to make a decision on the front inner shafts asap so I can have the re-gear done before or after the holidays.

- stick with stock inner Dana 44 shafts; or
- go with aftermarket shafts that utilize the 5-760 spicer ujoint (e.g., Carbon Offroad). I believe @Mr. Bills installed C.O. shafts a few years back, but I'm not sure how he liked them.
