12" Long Spline Drive Shaft Kit

Super flexible suspension systems require more slip spline then the stock drive shaft is able to provide. The result with a stock slip spline is the drive shaft pulls apart on the trail. This long spline kit is designed to replace the stock slip section and provide more then twice the slip length of stock. To install this kit the stock slip section and tubing is cut off and replaced with our long spline section and new tubing.

Our drive shaft kits are also stronger then stock. Our testing shows that a stock drive shaft will twist off and fail at after a maximum load of 3,900 ft/lbs of torque is applied. Our shaft kits test to a maximum of 4800 ft/lbs or torque. This is accomplished in two ways; first we increase the size of the material both on the inside and outside of the slider section. Then we specially heat-treat the material to increase its strength.

Each kit comes with a Heavy Duty U-joint installed and tack welded in place to ensure it does not come out on the trail. This product is a heavy duty replacement part and is not recommended for applications requiring a balanced driveshaft. Not recommended for use on the street. Long Spline Drive shaft kit $179 each.
