Title: Aluminum Axle info
Post by: Rupp250 on October 16, 2013, 03:48:58 PM
So what is out there? Thinking of a solid play axle. Anyone with experience on a duner?
Modquad
LSR
JJ&A

JJ&A is my go to choice. Jeff puts out a really piece and stands behind his work.  ModQuad was/is a copy and the early ones I saw lacked quality.  LSR looked nice but were expensive.  I ran a 34" solid play axle for a while and liked it a lot - just wish it was longer/wider.

I run solid 34" aluminum play axles on all my duners... ATC, TRX, LTR.  My Hondas  have Modquad axles and the Suzuki is a JJ&A.  The Modquad axles are about 1 lb lighter than a comparable JJ&A.  I also had a Fireball aluminum axle on a different ATV I used to have.  All 3 brands are of very good quality but the JJ&A would get my vote for the best overall quality because the hubs are little more stout and the Allen bolts are stronger grade fasteners.  I've never had an issue with any of them jumping or duning.  The aluminum dulls pretty quickly in the sand but can easily be brought back to a polished look if you keep up with them after each trip.

JJ&A gets my vote.  Great to deal with.  They replaced a hub for me no questions asked.

I have a fireball 34in on my 250r that o drilled out to get rid of more weight. And modquad on my yfz 34in that I drilled out as well. Jj and a is a great product. And I would gladly get one, I just got these others at a better price.

As far as I know 34" is the longest you can get
