Your best bet would be to call them. But why would you buy them with twisted splines? Better off with stock shafts more than likely.

to my knowledge, they wont fix twisted splines. i also think you need to be the original owner to do a warranty claim.

Twisted splines aren't considered broken and you have to be the original purchaser to take advantage of their warranty

I would pass on them,With them you move your weak point from the u joint to your diff.I rather replace a u joint or axle over the diff.

The only reason I like stock shafts is because I would rather change a shaft in 20 minutes than blow up my R&P and not have a vehicle to drive home.

I run stock shafts for the same reason. It's easier to install a axle shaft than a ring & pinion.

Run chromoly shafts and stock gears. Beat the life out of it and still have plenty of power in 4 low even on 35s.
