OK, all joking aside. Mine is a 00 Obviously, with those shafts your looking at and I too am on 35's but 15" wide TSL's and am sitting with a snapped u-joint and it also ate the ears off the shafts in the event of it being broken. I know you could go to your local JY or salvage yard and get these your self alot cheaper. Just take a slide hammer with you, the hub assesmblies have a tendency to stick as they sit over time.

Hope this was a better response.

yeah, they'd be a good upgrade. worth the money, i guess.
you could also look into the super30 kit for comparison.

The axle itself, yes, then comes the fabrication for the 4 link system. Either way, the RCV's have a "You break it, we replace it, no questions asked policy. That and with CV ends you can run a locker and turn while locked without the fear of damaging a u-joint or ears on shafts. Xtreme4x4, JP Magazine, Petersons and FW all have tested these and all were pleased. Only mod needed is a stock 44 from say a TJ RUBI, you have to widen the hub to slide the CV's in. I know it's alot more than his IRO shafts he's looking at..but supposedly their bulletproof. THe Baha G-wagons are starting to run these. No one who tries them are complaining.......yet

Those are stock shafts and not an upgrade. If you have CVs just keep them greased and good boots on them and they will be fine. Like others said, go to a jy if you want a set of these. I sold my last set for 25 bucks.
