I'm looking to get an aftermarket rear axle. Wondering how you guys would rate each for quality.

If your only going to ride dunes or light trailing i would recommend JJ&A play axle

RPM is considered the best and strongest. I've yet to break or bend my LSR after 3 seasons of mx but they are known for bending. Never ran a Durablue but people say they break a lot. Mando also listed a good option for the dunes.

Love my JJ&A axle so far my vote is JJ&A play axle.

don't think the JJ&a is quite what I'm looking for. Looking for at least plus 2 to match my front. leaning towards a lsr or rpm.

Have had quite a few different ones over the years. Bent lots of oem ones.(Actually every one eventually ,LOL) I have bent a Lonestar, stripped a hub on a Durablue . RPM is the one. Bite the bullet, pay the man,and be done.

I'm not in the loop like I used to be with aftermarket parts but back in the day I heard a lot about RPM and Team axles. I've had an RPM on mine for years with no issues now.

I only ride sand so I'm not hard on axles, but I've ran LSR Axecaliber, Durable X-33, and JJ&A 34" Play axle. Never had an issue with any of them. Really like the non-tapered design of the X-33 with the pin-lock hubs. Never ran an RPM but hear great things about them.

And just took a look on Lonestar's site and they have a pretty sweet deal. $849 / $924 for R's for +2/+1 Sport A-Arms and Axecaliber Axle:

Go with Rpm period. Lsr axle is good but not as strong as Rpm. Rpm is the best imo
