Be aware. If they are anything like the Warn kit, The inner yoke is machined down to allow the inner axle to slide far enough in the stock toyota housing(against the axle seal). I broke 4 warn inners with that setup using stock 5-297x ujoints. The same basic shafts are in my comp rig (waggy D44) but obviously not machined down at the yokes, and I've broken a CTM without hourting the shaft.
I hope the new kit addresses the u-joint to trunion alignment issue withput compromising the axle shaft strength.
