I will do that... custom built axle shafts sound like alot of $. I have to be able to justify it, otherwise i'm stuck waiting for enough $ to buy a d60.
Moser used to build any regular rear axle shaft for like 295 a pair. Been years since I've done business with them, but they are the best as far as I'm concerned. They are more into drag race items, but I am sure with some simple measurements, they can fab something up.

Default arb with cromoly

I could swear they are 30 spline, got it from Dave at northridge. He said my old axles would not fit anymore.

Unless you only plan on running 35s I'd say ditch that D30 as soon as possible. You may be able to get away with running chromo shafts, but if you build the crap out of a D30 you are going to detonate ring and pinions like no other. Yes, people have done this and that with them, but in truth you will be more confident and better off just budgeting for a replacement front axle. Get your hands on a bent Rubi 44 and have a shop retube and build it up for you (which can happen at a very reasonable cost). If too hard to find then the Currie 60 with 44 outers is a terrific budget option.

Isn't the rubi front axle only 30 spline as well? haven't heard many problems w/ the 30 spline and 5.13 ring/pinions & 35's. I really don't want to put in a rubi front axle... I just can't bring myself to pay that much $ for a d44 that's not really a d44. If I'm going to spend that kind of $ I would buy a true d44 or wait a couple months and buy a d60 and do it right the first time.
