They offer 3 versions;
a direct chromoly replacement,
a 30 spline upgrade at the birfield
or a 30 spline upgrade with a larger diameter shaft, I opted for the 30 spline upgrade with standard shafts it’s only around $100.00 more.
i ordered rear shafts. Been running the fronts for 4 years now.
 
I have the fronts, the rears are on my list and just havent gotten to them yet. Would be nice to hear some real world reviews on here.
i know 5 or 6 others that run the rears...
All of them are very happy with them.
I did have someone on a Cruise Moab trail lose a rear drive flange to the RCV shaft. Not sure how it failed as she was on flat rock lining up to hit an obstacle.
Thats the only failure i've personally seen.
 
Pics of 80's always welcome :) But I don't care if you don't own it!
 
We like pictures, go for it!

Good to know. I haven't really dug into reading up on them yet, but saw they were two piece. Do they use the same flanges as the fronts?
 
All finished up and going to a new home In Colorado somewhere next week. All new hardware from bell metric on this one the price is to cheep compared to cleaning nuts and bolts. New harmonic balancer also the old one was delaminated.

They look like this
Comes with extra dolls as well. Have to drill the hub, but they add extra beef. Also the axles have a gap in the splines where the elocker engages. So that way you’re not totally F’d if you twist and break a rear shaft w/ an elocker.

I drunk ordered my 4.88 gears while on sale at Nitro and told her the honest truth about how cheap it was, 75 percent off.

Ive used every single "buuuuuuuuuut, BABE, they're on sale right now......." that when I do order parts, I get the "let me guess, thats the LAST thing you'll need.... " and an eye roll. lol She totally gets it though, we just bought a really clean '94 that she claims as "hers". She has a list of "wants" for "hers" too now, which is kinda cool.
