I acheived a 40lb weight reduction on my rockwell housings by having the knuckles machined and drilled, and the housings retubed with 1/4" wall square tubeI also made a switch to super 8 hubs which are 9lbs lighter per hub. That alone is worth 58lbs per axle total. In the next week or so, I will be purchasing a set of 16 spline gun drilled shafts, which should drop another 5-7lbs per shaft. I have caught alot of **** for choosing to go this route, but in the end I feel it will be worth it, and if it doesnt work or prove to be reliable, its easy to go back to a conventional setup. Even with all the cash I have thrown at my axles, I will still be arguably stronger and lighter than a stock rockwell, and have considerably less cash invested compared to alot of the bling hybrid axles out right now.
