The only way I can get 2" receiver tubing around here is by buying a 20' stick. How about a kit with with both tubes. Cheap for you, easy to find for us. Put it in the same section as the diff guards. I think this would be a hot item.

We are working on a low cost (around $100) 12" spline kit that uses stock style splines. Square tubing shafts have lots of play an dclunking in them.

Our first prototype is shown below, we have an even stronger version in production now.

Yes, we are sure of it. We have receided a ton of calls on this. With all the solid axle swaps flying out the door there are a lot of people that are going to need drive shafts.

are you going to throw those in your sas kits now? it would be a good idea. just bump the price up a notch. i got my kit from marlin awhile back but that would have been awesome if there was one of these included. im still really pleased with my marlin kit though.

So, the stud end will weld into the CV end of the customers DS? Also, the slip looks beefy. How thick is it?
