Nitro axle shafts versus Ten Factory

Nitro axle shafts that use the spicer forged 1350 type u-joints, can't find what the Ten Factory use - anyone have experience with either of these?

I have ten factory axles in my jeep now
I belive they are a 1350 u joint
the spicer # that they came with is 5004891
have not checked the size for sure but they are bigger than my stock none replaceable ujoints
 
thanks, guess the D44 Rubi comes with a larger stock larger u-joint - never realized a u-joint would cost so much. Are those full circle clips, they look like they have c clips
 
the ten factory axles came with both
I installed the c clips cause I didn't have circlip tool to mess around with the full clips
and was impatient and need my jeep back to driving
I spent 3 days trying to find replacement u joints for the stock shafts only to find out they are discontinued
so I spent the money on the ten factory axles
 
good to know, I'm going to sleeve with Nitro sleeves as they allow 35 spline for future upgrade, gusset, synergy bjoints and ten factory
plan to start Friday and hope to finish by Saturday

Is there a reason why you're so determined to sleeve your axle?
 
I want to run 37's when on the trails, DD will run 35's and I don't have the $$ to go PR44. Also want to take on more challenges and want to reduce the risk of damage where I can

At some point I think I will install ARB but 1st things 1st.

Moby has PR 60s. I believe that Rubicat is still on the factory 44s

As mentioned, Moby has 60's and Rubicat is still running factory Dana 44's with gussets but no sleeves.

As I always like to point out, there are over 2 million JK's out there and I have personally seen 3 axle housing break and heard of only a dozen others over the last 6 years. Housing breaks are very very rare and the exception, not the rule.

Oh, and yes, just trying to save you some money :yup:
