Its the reverse of the rear axle lol.
Well I have yet to find a set thats cheaper than BroncoGraveyard. And on top of that, I just found some 6" lift springs for an SD. There's someone else interested, checking them out saturday, if that guy doesn't show then they are MINE!

I had the understanding that Yukon farmed out their products from other manufacturers overstock and generic r&p suppliers.
For example, there is no specific "Yukon ring and pinion plant." One gear set you buy may be richmond, the next may be motive and a third may be Precision or etc. The products purchased in bulk are then repackaged into their boxes. I think they do the u-joints and now lockers the same way. To further back this up the last Yukon axle install kit I used had timken part numbers stamped into them. Infact...they have also introduced a direct copy of an ARB air locker -probably built by ARB and sold through Yukon for slightly less money.
Often its more profitable to sell 20,000 units for $500 than it is to only sell 10,000 for $1000.
Its all about volume. ;-)
Ive beat the **** out of my D60F Yukon R&P and non-neckdown 4340 inner shafts without issue and the D70 R&P seems to be a quality piece as well.
pic taken on Kjetts kitchen floor. We were supposed to build this axle one weekend I was up there but decided to get drunk/do burnouts in the freshly paved jr highschool parking lot with boggers I didnt own instead.

The bog right around the corner from Nick #2s house.
high levels of alcohol combined with a battery of narcotic pain pills make even the ugliest woman seem far more attractive.
besides...
it takes some skill to travel out of state, blow your truck up and still get "random drunken *****" to stand beside your truck rockin' the shocker in a pic for the sole purpose of posting on internet forums....so back the eff off!
