If EVO can get them to me by next week??? will call them on mon. morn if they have them in stock they are loc. in CA and I'm in AZ so should be good to go....
Then just swap eveything over ...
I wish I had money to do gears too right now
Any way thats the plan

I don't know much about solid axles (I mostly work on my Hummer h1)... but, isn't it impossible to drive on a bent axle. You have a cylinder with a shaft going through it, how could it rotate if it was bent. Without looking underneath, I would say the tie rod is bent, the centerlink is bent, or the steering pump, idler arm, or pitman are loose, or the end of the mounts at the end of the axle are bent. I think those are the first things to break in a jump. I think it would have to be a pretty huge jump to bend the shaft and the other stuff to be good. Also, with that big a jump, your wheel would likely snap off at the hub. Tie rods bend easy.... ask me how I know...
IF, what I mentioned is broken, its a simple repair, just a hundred or so bucks....

Just looking at it the axle houseing is bent....
To be honest the C's look good...
I did have the Off Road Evolution Evo Front Control Arm Skids and Off Road Evolution Evo C2 Axle Gussets
The weld are not cracked and the gussets held up great...
It still drives stright belive it or not... but the pass inner axle is rubbing againt the houseing and ripped the seal so it leaks gear oil..
I drove it all the way home from Mexico(4hours) like this !!!!
Here is a picture of it before the bend....
