Why would you want a 4 speed instead of a 6 speed?
Seems like most people would rather go the other way, but I'm sure you either have a reason, or it was a typo.

Amen to that! We sure don’t! Can’t wait to get out of here.

Is that a threat or a promise...haha?
Surprised you didn't run into any in SLO. Unfortunately they mostly reside in LA and San Francisco and decide shit for everyone. There is a lot more to the state than those two cities. If you ever make it to the far north like Susanville or Alturas you'll feel like you're not even in the state anymore.

Well if you’re planning on getting a set a Spicer UD60’s for your build, my opinion is to look somewhere else. As beefy as they seem they didn’t seem to hold up long on our first outing. Somehow we managed to break one the massive 1550 u-joints on the front drivers side. No big deal, we’ll just get it warrantied right? Wrong. I contacted Spicer first thing Monday morning and sent the warranty dept pics of the damage. I almost immediately knew they weren’t going to warranty it because the guy said he would look at the pics and determine whether or not the break would be covered under warranty. Fuck it, I’ll just buy the damn things and put them in. Part number says the whole assembly is like $265 for shafts and u-joint. Then said it will take 93 days to build them and get them out.... Yes, you are reading that correctly. 93 days. One more time so you don’t think I’m fat fingering this more than once: 93 days. I’ve always said that products are only as good as what happens after the sale and I’ll be the first to say I’d rather have paid more for Dynatracs at this point. It would’ve taken longer to get them but I guarantee they would’ve taken care of this break and shipped us shafts Monday afternoon. Total fucking disappointment in not just the product but the service I’ve received in the last few days.

Oh man, that blows. Says a lot about the quality of both their products and their customer service.

It was the front drivers side axle assembly but yeah, total bullshit if you ask me. I’ve had 1350 u-joints in way worse situations and not broke them. The rep said that it’s obvious the break was caused during a free spin and then suddenly gained traction!!! Ummm, not even close pal. We tried climbing a rock and the piece of shit snapped.

Yep. I’m more pissed about the customer service (or lack of) than I am about the break. The whole 93 days thing pisses me off the most. This thing won’t wheel again until 2020.

Well I’m sure you can buy custom made shafts. Don’t know the cost though. Hopefully better quality than the Dana Spicer crap ...

Nope. I’ve called Randy’s and Currie and because it’s 1550 they can’t or won’t.

It’s laughable. Since I can’t buy direct from Spicer my distributor offered to send me a replacement axle today but since I’ve already welded a bracket on for the steering assist, I can’t really return the housing.

Swipe the bad shaft out with the one in the new axle and then put the replacement one back in when it gets to you in 93 days
