So about a year ago,or so,I get a PM to go to RR&P will call and pick up a set of rear shafts(D60 Full float).Not sure where they are made,pretty sure they're 4340 as opposed to the 1541's I kept killing.
Those shafts have been through absolute hell.....wheel stuck....pinion turn 5 or 6 revolution HELL.......both forward and reverse. I'm all about American made....believe me.........but these shafts are GNARLY strong reguardless of country of origin.......I truely don't know.

Ya I hear ya. I always buy american...unless I just cant find it. I didnt have a clue about the hardcore axles. I have been trying to get yukons for a 80+ waggy for 4 months and they still dont know when they will be in(randys). Till my schwab guy got pissed at randys and they told him about the hardcore axles. So they are a $100 more BFD, I get a US made product... I'll gladly pay the extra.

could have something to do with them buying warns axleshaft division.:scratchhead:
Material, quality of forging, fit and finish, size/design tolerances are going to be better on domestic stuff IMO. you see it reflected in the price, and the quality.
Another option is Nitro from JT differential. Not sure on country of origin, or material composition, but there is a vendor here on NWW, direct from JT differential that could answer your questions. Priceing is VERY reasonable (I was quoted about 560 bucks for inners and outers with spicer joints, for a dana 44, shipped).
Because, after all, everyone loves options.

I have to go through schwab(easy payments) Thing about schwab is that any company they deal with has to have $1 mil in insurance or they dont deal with them.
Just like you said you see it reflected in the price $560 for a set of axles.. I'd be leary of those.

this is exactly what I heard from a Randys sales rep
with a lifetime warranty and several sets getting abused without breakage, i think ill be leary while they are in my axle :flipoff: here is a thread Opie started about the Nitro shaft he bought.
