Cardone axles from Rock Auto. I probably should be running OEM, but I'm cheap believe it or not. :deadbanana:
I’ll meet your cheap and raise you eBay junkard OEM axles. I grabbed them for $75 shipped each with no core required. Got some 930 inner boots too so I just need OEM outers for best boot material for longevity. Should be into each one for under $150 all said and done. Cardone axles sure are a lot less hassle though.

I'm not far off. Maybe an extra hundred bucks or so. I'm not really keeping track of money for obvious reasons. :anon:

hmmm seems the difference between T4r/TW and IFS is OEM vs Fuckin run 'em (anything) hard...

Sounds about right. Too each their own. The general forums are great for the average owner who just wants to get some better knowledge, where IFS and Pirate are for the builder/beater crowds who are more dedicated. Both are great in their own ways.

Unless you're @kasnerd then you just spend 40k building a wannabe trophy truck and never use it.

Oof :rofl:

Picked up the last big piece to this whole long travel puzzle. I'll cut it up and clean the axle later.

LT kit also might ship next week so that's exciting as well.

Ideally, I'll build a stronger axle later on down the road (14 bolt, Sterling, or 609 axle), but this'll do in the meanwhile so I don't have to run some stupid big wheel spacers.

Well, today's plan was to reboot all the CV Axles with the Porsche 930 boots, but I bought all the CV joint grease the local Napa had and still don't have enough grease, so I guess this'll continue another day.

For a side note, these new boots I'm throwing on are pretty rad. Super flexible and they hold a ton more grease.

Do you have any photos of the inner cv modification? There’s a flange that has to be trimmed off where the original boot clamps on if you want to utilize all the down travel of the cv.
