Do you have any data or reference to support that scale?

Does anyone even make a chromo or 300m 1550 shaft yet? If not then stock 1550 vs a 300m 1480 is kind of useless since the ears are just going to egg out on the 1550 shaft.

And quit using green text, I'm only 21 and it makes my eyes hurt to try and read that shit

On a stock 1480/stock shafts, I assume the joint is the weak link. (I could be wrong) If you put a after market joint in, probably the shaft is the weak link. If you changed to stock 1550/stock shaft, Not sure what would be the weak link, but I'm sure it's much stronger.

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.

So your saying that differnce doesn't make it stronger?

How about we read this earlier post. Note the poster. LOL.

go with the 1550, if they dont last then you can upgrade later down the road, multiple companies offer shafts and joints

only in 4.56 and up
or wide track, I think all of those got them for the tighter steering angle

The Dana/spicer Ultimate 60 shafts are 4340 alloy with a 1550 joint.
Dynatrac also has a alloy 1550 axle shaft forging now.

its very clear what i said, you can read it again and again.

obviously the 1550 is stronger you fucking reject

So in one post you say there's no differnce except dimension and in another post you say it's stronger. Yea, that's clear. Why don't you make up your mind?

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

Good to know, I must have missed that earlier, thanks. Just picked up an 09 F350 dually with 1550s for my J10

its pretty fucking obvious that my statement about the only difference is the distance between the ears is to let people being confused by your onslaught of retarded ass fucking posts know thats the only strength increase. everything else about the shafts is equal, i wasnt implying that doesnt make it stronger. only an inbred fuckstain from floriduh would think thats what im implying

try actually adding something of value to this thread besides the most obvious thing possible

"i think 1550 is stronger then 1480" no fucking shit its stronger, thats what happens when you make a u joint bigger

Since 17+ ALL SD60 axle shafts have 1550 ujoints AFAIK

They are backwards compatible (meaning you can put a set of 2018 shafts in a 2010 housing).

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.

Well I was implying that a 1550 is stronger than a 1480 of any make. I was not stating it as a fact. You come back and state the only differnce is dimension, as if to say I'm wrong. Otherwise why did you state it? Everybody allready knows it's bigger. How was that adding something of value?

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 :

I'm talking about the AXLE SHAFT.

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.

uhhh... About $650 for the 1550 Ford shafts vs $1500ish for some 4340 chromo shafts + 1480 300M u-joint...
There is a significant difference.

Makes sense.

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?

[Bebop]

Yes. That's exactly what I'm trying to say for 2 pages now

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.

[MtnYota]

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?

I wish somebody would bring longfield's axle breaking machine back out and test some of these. I would love to see the results of that.
