I understand the need to upgrade the axles even 1 ton in mud racing. That being said im goin through a SAS on my 79 f-150 stepside to start mud racing and compeating. I got dana 60 front and sterling 10.25 rear

I want bomb proof so i dont have to break parts and be down soo which axles should i upgrade to iv been looking and narrowed it down to either
yukon 4340 chromoly 35 splines inner outters
or
superiors chromoly 35 splines inners outters
and the use of CTM u joints or superjoints

anybody have any first hand comments for either of these or would like to point me in a different direction i just dont want to dump 3k into the wroung direction so please shead some light thanks

this is strictly for mud racing no onroad what so ever thanks

Definitely CTMs are a must for bullet proof. And superior i believe for shafts unless you wanna do CTM shafts as well...

Ayup. Superiors wait time brings the epic suck but I've heard tons of failures/complaints with Yukons. I wheel like a retarded mongloid chimp on meth and my Superiors have held up fine.

Seeing Pro go through the wait for superiors, I chose to go with Yukons, I also went with the Longfield 300M superjoint, (cause they were new & I wanted to try them)

This was in my 49 ford with the blown injected engine (approx 1500 hp) & had no troubles, I don't quite drive like a retarded mongloid chimp on meth, but most of the time it was like a Kenmoor refrigerator, when the door closed the light went out.

I think you'll be fine either way.

You may drive smarter that me, but those were also in an application putting out twice the hp that my truck does. I had forgotten that you used Yukons. The fact they lived in that rig is actually a pretty good testimonial.

Didn't Yukon buy Warn's axle division?

No personal experience, but I've heard only good about Moser.
