Hey mud,

Just ran across these, anyone know about them? Looks like they have extra provisions built into them for added flex.

I have so much to learn. Alcan are great folks.
The flex you will get from the tried and true OME is great for an open diff 60. Good enough for a locked 60. If that isn't enough, 80 axles and coil conversation but i don't know everything.

They use a ball socket inside the wrap. There’s a sleeve that slips in place of the bushing and then the shackle bolt goes through this funny looking bal joint which then slips into the sleeve inside the eye socket. I’ve not got any experience with them but I’ve seen them on some rigs out here in Colorado. It’s for really extreme terrain, obviously. I have no clue how they hold up to abuse or how they handle. I imagine it’s terrible on the highway.
