The Alloys are about $100 cheaper and found them in stock about 3 hours away from my house G2 golds are American made and can be shipped here in about a week. The money is not a issue if quality is better. They are rear shafts by the way.

Check the warranty on these. I don't think either one will warranty a bent flange. Ten Factory does. Yukon may, can't remember for sure.

If money is no issue go RCV

Go for the G2. Same warranty as TenFactory, which includes bent flanges.

Can't comment on G2 Placer vs G2 non-placer, though. Not sure what the difference is. Both are 4140.

I think the G2 golds are 35 spline only?

That's what I thought also, but their website lists 30, 32 & 35 spline rear Placer Golds for the JK.

Might just be the typical case of G2's marketing people having their heads firmly stuck up their back sides. They put out so much misinformation it's not funny...
