Default how reliable will this be??

well as many of you that have read my previous posts lately know that when i went to put my gears in down at a local shop last thursday i found out that i needed to replace my axles because they were pitted. Now before i had discovered this i was alittle concerned about them anyway because i want tobe able to run like a mickey thompson tire without breaking my axles( i would think the axles would go before the carrier). so tommorow my axles will be here, i ordered Alloy performance axles from summit, and was wondering if they would be able to handle the type of tire im looking to use.

I would get a second opinion on your axles. If axles are needed I would get Moser 31 splines. Summit will return those for you, no problem.

i have to work with what i have, for one i do not have nearly eough money to get a new carrier for the 31 splines or i would have went with them, and for the second reason my car is up on the lift so it has to get fixed asap.

I wouldnt run MT tires with those axles. They arnt much stronger then stock. I would send them back and use your stock ones till you have the money for 31 spline setup

I wouldn't trust them. Dont put nice wheels on with the MTs. Get a set of crap wheels for them. When the c clips let go they will destroy the wheel when the axle flys out.
