Well?

are they the same diameter? same strength?
i ask cause i have a 44 with 33 splined axles.

:D

The axle shaft itself (barring any neckdown profile) will be the same strength if the spline count is the same.

The u-joint is different so the u-joint ears on the 60 shaft will be stronger though.

considering dana 60 don;t have 33 splines i don;t think so. Dana 60 can be found with 30 or 35 spline and someplaces sell aftermarket 47 splines

i belive some Doge 60's use a 32 spline shaft

A Spicer cut 33 spline axle shaft is the same size as an aftermarked cut 33 spline cut.


They are no means the same strength, not even the splines...

ok, is a 44 shaft with the same amount of splines as a 60 the same size/strenght??

If your talk just the spline part... Yes.
A Spicer 30 Spline Dana 44 shaft is the strength as a 30 Spline Dana 60, however only that part of the shaft.

There is much more to an axle that give it it's strength.
I'm a fan of the Dana 44 axle, have done some research on it...even have a web page to help people learn more about the Dana 44.
I think it a waste of money to use custom 33 spline shafts in a Dana 44, front or rear.

i agree, however it was most cost effective. i'm thinking of upgrading but was wondering just how strong my rear end really is. i have a Supperior 33 kit in it and a Poly truss im runnin 37's in Johnson Valley with no real problems as of yet. link to rear end build in my sig.
