I was able to get mine fixed under warranty..... when I bend them again I will probably do ten chromollys. I have 6k on the mopar replacements which is more than I thought I would get.

I'll try the warranty thing, but if they say "Noway" I'll understand and will go Alloy chromoly or Superior chromoly, I'm lookin around for reviews of the brands available. Will post what I end up doin. Thanks

Hey Tim, I was looking into this and was told by two different ppl (Joe @ abbsolute) and (David @ Northridge) That the problem with the rear axle is they bend in the same place, No matter Chromoly or Stock! The Chromoly is a stronger shaft & splines but still bend at the flange. So I decided to keep my stocks until they bend and then decide from there. Thats just what I was told.

FULL FLOAT IS THE WAY TO GO. When I started lookin in to axle shafts I found that a couple of these companys warranty their items for bent flanges. just make sure you go that way and It wont cost you anything to replace them next time!!!! The main reason I havnt done mine is the same.... I would love to just change the whole rear end!!!!
