At that price I’d be cautious. And with additional splines, you’ll have to find another hub flange.

No, the factory splines are 30 on the exterior shafts, so the factory hub flange works. The factory center shaft splines are 27, though, which are what Nitro increased to 30.

I understood the splines being at the birfield, not the drive ends, but yeah the price is what has me suspicious

Strange that an overland company is selling an "improved" axle for a Land Cruiser that isn't for off road or oversized tires...

I'd like to know more, but I'm definitely suspicious that these are nothing more than another rebranded reman axle.

Are we stripping or snapping CV's alot on 100s?

No. Front diff blows up before the OEM CVs. The outboard shaft splines are usually toast and cause a lot of driveline slop well after 100k miles.
