I've put together an upgrade package for the 3rd/4th gen Fbods - 3rd gens especially will break axles under the stress of RR duty, and I've cracked a 4thgen axle. Dragstrip use with slicks will break them, too.

These axles are direct replacement, use OEM wheel bearing and seals (not included) and fit any of the popular diffs (also not included).

Package includes:
1 Pair Yukon Replacement Series axles for 93-02 4th gen non TC cars or TCS cars
10 ARP 100-7708 2.5" long wheel studs, pressed in place
10 Dorman short, open bulge lugnuts with 19mm (same as 3/4") hex

Cost is (call, prices vary with application) plus shipping plus CA sales tax on orders shipped to CA address.

for the front, extra set of 10 ARP studs $32
for the front, extra set of 10 Dorman lugnuts $16

Extra long 3.25" ARP 100-7713 studs are available, set of 10 $72

questions/comments PM me or email me at ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com or call me at 831 427-3296 evenings PST

edit: Superior raised prices by $10 per axle, so I had to raise the package price from $185 to $205
edit: another price increase, to $215 for the package
edit: added pics of my cracked OEM axle - I found this after a rather spirited session at Sears Point. Glad it didn't let go there! The crack goes all the way around and thru the hub flange, and has started to twist off.
edit: the yearly price increase happened: new price for the package is $231 + changed to Dorman nuts
edit: price increase to $350
edit: price drop to $295
edit: revise pricing on ARP/Dorman
edit: change to Yukon, revise pricing

Alan,

Correct me here but I thought the difference was 26 and 28 spline axels for the LT vs LS cars.

I'm going to be getting some here soon, do you have the EVO axels from them as well or they still working on them for LS cars?

Nope - LT1 and LS1 axles have the same spline count: 28. Other than a slightly larger wheel hub OD on the LT1 axles, they are interchangeable.

The EVO series axles are also 28spline, and the same alloy as replacement series. The only differences I see from Superior's ad copy is that the EVO series are packaged in a kit with bearings and SAE studs.

For most of the folks here, the OEM dia, 12mm x 2.5" long ARP studs are fine, and bearings can be sourced locally if needed

My supplier lists the EVO kit only for the LT1, which would fit in a LS1 axle but the LS1 wheels would need to be opened up.

or,

I can drill out LS1 replacement series axles and press in SAE ARP studs. Let me know if you'd like a quote.

Here is Superior's description of the Replacement vs EVO series:

REPLACEMENT SERIES

These High Quality replacement axle shafts feature the same Superior alloy used in our Evolution Series axle kits, along with computer controlled induction heat treating resulting in a stronger, more durable axle shaft. All our shafts use a cold-formed rolled spline process that produces an axle spline up to 35% stronger than cut splines! These are direct replacement axle shafts. No modifications needed.

For extreme duty applications, front axles, or complete kits with bearings, studs etc., check out our Evolution Series kits.

EVOLUTION SERIES

These kits are designed and engineered in-house to be the best axles on the market! We've listened to our customers, and improved on the factory designs. Each axle or axle kit solves a specific problem for your customer, and are packaged installation ready with studs, bearings and seals. Many feature larger splines for extreme duty applications, and dual bolt patterns for upgrading to larger studs.
