    I don't think this one will bend so easy!!!



    A little more bigger than the the old one, eh?


    A little more adjustability than I was expecting. The axle itself is +1 (1/2" on each side) and there are three 1/2" spacers on each side that could equal a total of +4" wider. I have it set for +2 in the picture

    At first I was going with the durablue but it was more expensive and the warranty wasn't as good. While durablue has a lifetime warranty against bending and braking, only your first one is free+shipping..any replacement axle after that is $175 + shipping.
    I went with LoneStar Racing. It's a bit more adjustable as far as width and has a true replacement lifetime warranty, all I have to pay is shipping.

    Now I just need some new tires for the ice, all my studs kept on pulling out today leaving me with flats

    That axle doesn't appear to have any taper?

    Then your rear end suspension should take less abuse, and get better traction.
