Bought a yukon grizzly locker for my rear d44 and looking to install some chromoly shafts to strengthen the axle before I lock it this upcoming spring. Any suggestions on a chromoly shaft?

Any word on how the yukon chromoly shafts hold up?

I've heard good things about ten factory but that's about it.

Any suggestions before I pull the trigger?

Ten factory has the best warranty and covers the phalange.

I have RCVs both front and rear. Had one glitch with rears and RCV replaced with free shipping. But they're very pricey.

Is TF warranty better than RCV? I thought RCV is better warranty, though as I said way more $$$.

Yukons are shipped at generic lengths, then you cut them to fit your application. Choice of metals, and triple drilled, which could be a big plus. My local gear shop is a yukon preferred vendor, so those were his first suggestion when I was looking. After the work for cutting to length and pressing the bearings, they priced out about $100 higher than TenFactory.

TenFactory - 4140, 10yr warranty that includes bent flanges, dual drilled. Can be found for $310 or so if you look around, but mostly up in the $375+ range. (plus pressing the bearings)

G2 - exact same stats and warranty as TenFactory, they even buy direct from Ten when they run out of their own shafts. You will find these for $295

Nitro - 4130, 5 year warranty. Does NOT include bent flanges, void if bent/twisted/worn, this only covers an actual shaft breakage. Triple drilled. $450, but the plus for them is that they come pre-assembled, so you don't have the extra cost of pressing the bearings on.

Alloy Usa - 4140, dual drilled, 10 year warranty, (but no reply from them on what exactly is covered.) $360ish


Two months ago when I was looking, the G2's were on a nationwide backorder, so I ordered TenFactory. (a warranty is worthless if you can't replace a broken shaft, right?) Haven't followed it long enough to know whether it is a one-time shortage or on-going.

RCV says lifetime warranty on shafts, not sure about flanges.

Although their site quotes $1499 for the rear set, pretty steep. That's more than I paid last year.

for the rear id reccomend 10 factory for price and flange warranty. front is another story...

We prefer Ten Factory over anything else, as everyone stated Ten Factory has an excellent warranty. PM us if you would like any pricing.
