99% run ZFs. Big pigs and super strong. They have planataries and are like 16:1 ratio.

most monsters run the zf because of the portals. better gearing and they stopped breaking shafts when they switched because there is a lot less stress. they look similar except for the hubs.

edit:
stg beat me too it

you can get smaller portal axles but they come from tractors. theres a couple threads on pirate about them. come from fronts so they have steering. heres and example and how much..
