    Shadow and I had a long conversion about using unequal length setup. The conclusion was that unless you drag a lot with your car, use Autozone life time warranty unequal length axles would be the cheapest and easiest. I have no issue with the axles and my cars make plenty of power and torque.

    I do plan on throwin my car on slicks at some point. Have a papp built hybrid with lsd and plan to throw it to it. If using dynasty inner and outers and having new shafts made is a viable and stronger option ill likely pursue it

    The Dynasty long axle isn't going to fit a L body, I tried and failed.

    So the option is to use two short Dynasty axles with an intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft becomes the bottleneck. I don't know about you, but I rather break cv joint/cv shaft then break an intermediate shaft.

    Which is why i asked if they made them without the intermediate shaft because yea im never running that. Did they make a Dynasty without equal length? You must not have gotten what i was sayin. Use the inner and outer cv and gdta shaft made

    I think the website was black themed when I saw it. I do remember it being French Canadian. One thing to remember is that SRT4 uses larger inners and probably has more parts still available.

    Use an SRT4 axle and have them re-splined to fit. i've had both axles side by side, theres enough material on the srt axle to do it.
    However if i were going to do a custom axle setup i would use the axles and intermediate shaft from the last gen caravan with the 3.6 and 62te trans. those axles are very beefy, the intermediate shaft is just a shaft with no cv or u joints on it going through a pretty sizable carrier bearing. we never see axle failures on those vans, i replace transmissions in those like clockwork but i've never had to replace an axle in one and those vans are heavy with 285 HP on top of it. The true end all would be cut down promaster axles. those are even more robust than caravan axles, they use them in 3500 extended wheelbase raised roof vans. again i never see axle failures on those, and i see a LOT of those things in the shop, i've got one torn apart in my bay right now replacing a head.

    it will cost a LOT less than 2 grand to go that route and you'll probably end up with a stronger setup.
