CTM shafts

What kind of comparison are we looking at with those ujoints? Either way, looks like I have some serious beef to choose from.

If I'm not mistaken, that is a dana 30/44 axle shaft joint.

Lol, nice. I guess a call to ctm or rcv is necessary? I'm not seeing these on either site. Curious about pricing.

Yet still small compared to a Rockwell joint.

What series are Rockwell axle junts? My dads driveshaft is 1500 series in the front 1680 I think in the rear.

I don't think there is a series number for Rockwell's.

great information guys

Has anyone taken notice of how Dale Larson connected his link and c/o on the driver's side? There's literally like 1" of tube showing. A truss will allow for the c/o but I'm hesitant about welding link tabs to the cast center.

I think DL uses a 99-04 axle which has more tube showing. Many with the 05+ axles cut a portion of the cast housing away to access more tube realestate.

Ah okay. I remembered seeing someone had cut the back side of the housing out but he used a 1 piece link/coilover mount that placed the c/o behind the axle. Didn't want that so I guess I erased the idea. I guess a truss with some housing notched would work. Thanks

Nah he runs 05+

Slap the CO on the inner C.

This is mine. People on pirate have taken more cast off than I did. I'm not worried about it.

Beerj · Aug 18, 2015

That's the one I remember seeing. I figured the c/o can go on the truss. Notch out the casting like you did for the link.

BOOM!

Sweeeet. I don't know if I would upgrade a factory sd60 with these but I think they'd be high on my list of components for building an axle from scratch.

Heck yeah.

Looks like the possibility of the 05+ unit bearing becoming the "new standard" in off road beef is a real possibility.

I wonder if the fabricated knuckle guys are going to make compatible parts?

Also wonder what a set of WOD or EOR fab knuckles/Cs weighs vs stock 05+ bj parts vs Reid parts.
