The shaft's slip yoke is maxed out on that kit. I have it. I went ahead and got the TW Shaft for the front. the stock shaft works until you can get a longer shaft though. It just wears out the slip yoke a lil faster.
The RCX johnny joint bushings are garbage though. Get a set of currie bushings and toss them in while you are assembling it.

The shaft was 300 shipped and the bushings where like 16 bucks shipped. If you change out the bushings it voids the warranty by the way. But in my honest opinion the warranty is really only for the garbage parts like bushings they use. Just had to say it. The welds are not going to break unless you are racing it in hte desert. Again IMHO i have had to tear the axle out twice to repair/replace the RCX bushings so I would say get quality the first time and forget it.
dirtydogg offroad can get them for you.
