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

difference between the 93-96 and 98-02 is the center hub that fits into the wheel, correct? so if i ordered the 98-02's to work w/ my 95, i could more easily use the 98-02 wheels, right?

Yes, wheel hub OD is smaller on the LS1 axles (Are the wheel hubs on the LS1 wheels smaller? I'm accustomed to opening up the ID of the C4 Corvette wheels to fit the LT1 axle hub but don't know if this is the case for a LS1 Fbod wheel onto LT1 axle).

Axle length is same, and splines are the same. I have the Superior LT1 axles in house, they do have the flange for the TCS reluctor option. I'll call Superior and ask if there are any other differences besides the wheel hub OD.

Well now I'm confused - I called Superior and the guy said that the LS1 axles were 1/2" longer than LT1 (and the published specs were incorrect) but I don't believe that is true - LS1 folks would be having extreme outer fender well issues if the cars had an inch wider track than the LT1 cars. I'll measure Mike P's when they get in, will be 7-10 days.

Alan,

what was the answer on the LS1 vs LT1 axle length?

I need to put my name on the list, I've got an LT1 and shipping would be to 50219.

If the LS1 axles really are 1/2" wider it wouldn't hurt my feelings when running the Z06 rears, I could go without spacers, but not sure I would like what that would do when running the WS6 wheels with stickies.

Jared - The LS1 axles arrived yesterday, and they are the same length as the LT1, as I expected. So the only difference LT1 vs LS1 is the slightly larger OD of the hub on the LT1 part. If your Z06 wheels have already been clearanced to fit the LT1 axle hub then there would be no advantage in the LS1 axles. Your choice - price is the same.
