Just Perusing New Axles and was Shocked at the Price!

[JasonInDLH]

Was daydreaming about some 44”Tires and some new HD axle assemblies and was shocked at the price!

I’ve never messed with changing axles out before, so I didn’t have a clue what these might cost. At least they come with bigger rotors.

In all seriousness, I’m extremely happy with my 35’s and stock axles.

Definitely a lil more than junkyard F350 axles.

You said 44’s, but posted 60’s???

Don't forget to add the cost of a bigger lift, bigger tires, new wheels, hydro steer and new steering components to the cost. It is more like $30,000 if you do the work yourself.

Sorry, I meant 44” tires. Should have clarified better.

Yeah... and those are 60's (which are plenty fine for 99%). I think with Alcons, labor, steering, new drive shafts etc -- my 70's are gonna be $32k. Plan on putting a 426 or 446 in my 392 eventually so might as well do this once.

I went down this path the other day. Just a what-if. I looked at Fusion 4x4. They have bolt in ready axles as well. After all was said and done, it came close to that price range.

I remember when I first got my JK, for 1 tons you could be out the door less than $10k.

Nice, but 44”s would really benefit from even bigger axles Cause you know you’d want a v8 later

DSTRAC is getting a pretty good reputation. The DS70 is no extra for 73.5" wide Dynatrac charges $1,000 for that. I think I'd rather have 70/70 than 60/80. DSTRAC price include Adams driveshafts.
