Carbon Rear Dana 44 30 Spline Axle Kit, Jeep Wrangler TJ, Drum Brakes (Carbon Offroad, part no. C0001-DRUM)
Bigger tyres, a locker and harder launches put more torque through the rear shafts, and factory ones can snap where you least want them to. Carbon Offroad is MetalCloak's axle brand: shafts in 4140 chromoly steel, dual heat treated.
MetalCloak states they are over 80% stronger than stock. The kit includes both the left and right shafts.
