# 1 for now then save up for #4

unless you have over a grand chillin' in your pocket waiting to be spent then by all means have a party.

why arent 35,40, and 46 spline an option?

spline 35+ = need new housing... i'd be better off just getting D60/14Bolt fullwidths.

I've never heard of 46 spline shafts.

Just get the Chromios. They shouldn't break and will do the job. (I'm poor so I would get the JY ones.)

Most likely going with option 2. I hear the $300 chromy shafts are just as strong as the yukon shafts.
