Yeah thats kinda getting back to the more effort then it is worth category, plus parts etc. definitely would not end up cheaper~


So regarding the axles it looks like the best solution is going to be to make a custom set using 930 CV joint setup. They are commonly used in off road conversion and high HP applications. Many different parts available but it could be done for as little as about $1,600... That includes custom stub ends, "high performance" 930 CV joints,bolts pre-drilled for safety wire, flanges & boots and would use a chromoly axle shaft.

Me, I'm a do it once kinda guy so if I were to do it i'd prefer to use all the high end stuff. This of course bumps the price up quite a bit by about $1000~, biggest differences being upgraded CV joints and stronger axles.

Either way, for right now given my current budget for I think the best thing to do is just not drag race it with first gear launches Just gonna leave the inexpensive axles in for now~
