I was talkin to a friend today who's wheeled his sammy for quite a while, and he also had good things to say about Sky. As far as the eliminator kits being obsolete, I see it as being a more long term solution, and not much more expensive than buying the chromo axles you need when you buy the stronger birfs. I don't doubt I'd do just fine with the longs, but from what everybody says they'd peel the splines off my stock axles, so I would be just as well off to go this way. Keep the good feedback coming, Nate
