not unless you buy replacement shafts, then they will be
waterhorse is just one of those retards that thinks he knows better than everyone else, and he pretends to come ask questions just so when you answer him he can try and correct you because, again, he thinks he knows better. and fwiw to those that dont know the only difference between 1480 and 1550 shafts/joints is the distance between the ears/yokes, everything else is all the same. https://www.machineservice.com/produ...parts-catalog/ |

For the record, I believe the 1550 is considerably stronger thats what I've been saying it all along.

why not get info straight from the manufacturer over speculating?

That's what I thought years ago when the pics of them first started coming out. I mentioned it then. But the plethora of highly-abused rigs using them since then have proven it to be a non-issue. I would no longer give it a second thought.

I have to tell you all that name calling on the internet makes you sound like a face book teenager. Bebop, I'm not suggesting your wrong. It is very possible that a aftermarket 1480 is stronger than a stock 1550. I just haven't seen any data to indicate that. Even if you just say, "I've seen four stock 1550s break on a certain trail when a 300m 1480 sailed right through." That doesn't make it gospel, but it means more than just someone on the net saying it's so. Im sure why all the hostility. My thought about this is even if the aftermarket 1480 is stronger, the axle as a whole could be weaker because there is more leverage on the yokes. This is with stock shafts. Of course, you could go with aftermarket shafts too, it alters it again. But now the cost really goes up. My point is, let's say I have a stock 07' SD axle (I do), and I want to make it stronger. What is the best bang for the buck? Yes, I could install RCV or Ouverson 2 1/2 ton stuff. But, I'm not interested in spending $3,000 plus. I could buy just an aftermarket 1480 and install it or I could buy stock 1550 shafts and a joint. Not much money differnce. (And way less than 3 grand) Do you get where I'm coming from now? Their are a lot of people on this site that arnt interested in tripling or quadrupling the cost of their axles.

Quoting myself here :

So, yes, the 1550 U-Joint from Spicer is a beast. Maybe stronger than a 1480 300M u-joint. IDK. But what I know is that in a stock Ford 1550 shaft, the shafts themselves are going to break. I put up there the "scale" of what I believe is the weakest to strongest. Cost also follows the same order. You pick what is in line with your budget/needs, I can't make that decision for you. Quote:

I've heard when the joint or the yokes break, it often takes out the upper ball joint. (That would be a PITA) So obviously, just changing the joint to an after market 1480 would probably only assure the yoke would be the weak link. If I upgrade the shafts too, not sure what would be the weak link. What I'm thinking/hoping is if I upgrade to stock 1550 shafts/joints, the weak link would be the shaft snapping at the splines. That would be a lot better than the ball joint or knuckle being trashed. Does my logic work for you?

Don't know where you're shopping, but I just got short and long side for less than $400 total shipped. That's inners, outers, joints, and seals.

I see that more companies are selling the weld-on high steer kits. Is there any consensus on these kits? Anyone know of any failures?
