ok axleshafts are stronger than a stock rockie... however that seems to be the biggest ordeal! and dont worry i am working on the knuckles! hell i guess while i am at it i could add the trussing. then it will be stronger than a rockie!
point being... i will never have to worry about my front breaking even if i decide to jump to 44's (very likely)

whats the point in upgrading shafts without the joints? most failures are due to joints to begin with

the title had me thrown off, i didn't realize we were comparing rockwells here....
rockwells certainly have disadvantages in rock crawling, but those same disadvantages are the advantages in really really really high lifted trucks, obviously to get a better pinion angle on the mud trucks
you can def. build a d60 as strong if not stronger than a stock rockwell, but thats talking hella $$$, you can get a set f/r rockwells for what you can get a d60 front for....then if you go chromod 16 spliners or even the 2"ers the strength once again doesn't compare....
oh, btw guys, ya'll need to check out the chucks trucks forum from time to time, they almost always have BUILT d60/14bolt(or equivilent) combos for going insanely cheap, like b4 all the threads got deleted new years day, there was a built set d60/14b combo for 1600....b/c most people over there are on rocks or are switching to rocks....

Fishy,
those joints sell for like $160 each right? half as much as a CTM?
I agree with you that its not smart to buy bling chromo shafts and not buy real good joints but my $$$ ran out.
I had to go with spicers lifetime ones
