Fellas im running 34' treads on wide track diffs. now i know the cromo front axels and cv's are the go but what is out there for the back? the rig is going to be welded or spooled in the back and lockered in the front.

[tanshi]

There are some that you can get from low range, but i have seen them twist and so wouldnt go there.

We are looking at Custom full floating Chromos at the moment.

Also Joe Blow was talking about this i believe.

[neofitou]

Ive been looking into this myself.

low range have lCalmini, 30% stronger

Trail tough did have some crome moly rear axels but they arent listed any more.

That's all I can find!

[matty87]

yeah i found the calmini ones but there isnt much else. how often do the standards break with 33's to 34's? coz if people are putting cromos in the front they must be putting some pretty big stresses on the rear as well.

[BlueSuzy]

The rears are pretty strong anyway. I run Bal 1.6, 33x12.5s, 6.5's, 3.7's on road with a welded rear, The only time i have snapped a longside rear axle was when the diff centre crownwheel bearing pushed out the side, Then the crownwheel dropped down and snapped the axle.

I twist the splines of axles, but never snaps.

Now your front axles are the same size as the rear.. There are no upsizes for the rear, but there is only meant to be improvements on strength.

Id drive it and see how it goes.

Ive got lux/bundys going under my lwb atm. They give me strength. The axles are huge compared..

I will be running chromo full floats on 35/36s in my comp ute. I figure if it plays up i will go lux diffs

I've been running the calmini hd rear axels for a couple of years now and have had no probs at all... Grab a set while the oz dollar is still good!

what size rubber you running? are you locked up?

[BlueSuzy]

My front is open on 33 also.. no breakages. 2 years!

[dank]

I've never damaged a rear axle on mine....just go easy on the clutch dumps and you should be fine...or run an auto...

[BlueSuzy]

I don't go easy on mine on road, 4x4 offroad i do, as i like a smooth ride.

But im a hoon in 2wd..I go through centres, not axles.

But i know people that break bigger rear axles on a vit with 29's.... and a sierra on 29's... They are uber rough on their cars but. It all depends on how you drive. You can break anything if you want to.

Was running 33 inch simexs for a while, now running 33 silverstone extremes which are a smaller tyre. I'm running air-lockers and -30 offset rims and have had no issues yet...

i'm running 35 creepys lockright in rear airlocker front. i have cromo cv's but just standard rear and havent broken one yet

[ajsr]

the stock rears must be fairly tough my 34's havn't broken either front or rears and I'm still on stock front axles with birfield rings pressed on

[Fatzook]

Buy one of THESE. You get chromos with it

[MrRocky]

running 33" jt2's on rock with a lockrite i have snapped 2 rears in half and
have twisted 2 on my current rig with 31"s. Just get the standard rears
cryo treated, im pretty sure this would be about as good as the U.S. ones.
