Keep breaking stock shafts so getting some chromos for Christmas lol
Question is what brand? G2, TEN factory, Alloy USA or Yukon.
Looks like ten factory is only one that offers any kind of warranty. Honestly I'd like to get RCV's but can't afford those right now
 
I had nitro shafts in my old cherokee and i think they have a no questions asked warranty. It says 10 yr. warranty on the ECGS site.
 
Call ECGS and ask what's the best bang for the buck.

I can price you out some RCV's if you like.

IF the shaft breaks itself, not as a result of a u joint failure. IIRC, Chase will give you 1 u joint failure, but that's it.

@Loganwayne, do you DD your Jeep? What is breaking? Joints or shafts?

Don't dd it, the ears have broke on every set of shafts I have put in. The last set I put a set of almost alloy tabs that cover the whole ear and are suppose to reinforce them and they still broke. (Although looking at the tabs it looks like I didn't have enough heat. The u-joint it's self was still intact just laying on the ground cause the tabs and ears blew up

this is not from Saturday but pretty much the same failure, these shafts had new u-joints installed after I got my axle back from
You Jody, 3-4 trail rides and maybe 50 street miles they were splicer joints
 
3 ways to look at it in my opinion.
Get a good set of shafts like 10 Factory that allow use of full circle clips on the joints. That is where you have a decision to make.
Either:
A) Spicer 760 joints. When it breaks and takes out the shaft, gotta see what the warranty information is.
B) Yukon or similar "Superjoints". Won't break, when the shaft does, you'll get a new free replacement one.
C) RCVs
 
I figure put some chromo shafts and pick my lines better and I can make it last for a year or two till I build something bigger and let the girlfriend drive the xj
 
All the chromo shafts we sell have a lifetime warranty for shaft failure( this is our warranty not the manufacturers). Ujoint failure you get one shaft replacement. Unless you get Superjoints or equal and then everything is lifetime warranty against breakage. Always in stock and we don't bullshit around about warranting it. You break it we send it.

Once you add superjoints to reagular chromo shafts your getting close to the cost of RCV's, correct? Is there any major advantages or disadvantages to either kind?
 
There is a $300 dollar gap between chromos/SJ's and RCV's so it depends on what you think is close. If it was a road driven vehicle I would recommend the RCV's as the joints are designed to spin all the time at speed where as the superjoints or the like are not.

RCV: Advantage - smooth steering at any angle, safe for hwy use. Strong warranty. Disadvantage expense
Chromos: Strong, cheaper, warranty. Disadvantage DD Superjoints will wear out
 
I went with Longfield U-joints and the Nitro 4340 shafts. Wail on em hard and they take it.
 
I run Ten Factorys, and I'd say their customer service is awesome! Had a axle nut go on sideways and screwed up some threads, they sent a replacement outer shaft with no issues.
