Default aluminum knuckles, straight axle conversion

RCP has the only "high clearance" knuckles that I have found. they are a little higher in price than other aluminum knuckles I have found. Is it worth the extra money? I was looking to do their knuckles and clockable c-hubs along with their rear straight axle conversion and i am looking at 150+ shipped. seems a little pricey to me especially 50 dollars for the rear axles and another 30 for the adaptors. does anyone else manufacture a similar setup cheaper?

i have them as well and i like them. the rears are round not square like the other companies. They are a little more but i think they are finished a little better than some of the others I have seen.

exectly I think there stuff is of high quility. And the rear axle adaptors I like also because they are round not square so the chance of them hanging up on something is minimal.

the ckrc set up is less than 50 complete. RCP is 80 if I'm reading it correctly, unless its 24 for both the left and right shaft, making a complete axle. has anyone purchased from RCP? which is it 24 each or 24 for left and right.

there was no buying or selling going on here, I should have worded it differently, such as , are you interested in selling? PM sent.

I have one of my rigs set up with the RCP stuff and it works great...Other than the rear axles were bent after 2 comps. It is $24.00 a set for the rear shafts and the slopp is gone, the rear wheels just wobble now.

I still like the RCP round axle adaptors better then the square. And give it time you will get marks on those shinny new square adaptors.

You don't have to have the straight axles.....you can just get the straight axles adapters and use the stock stub shafts.....save you bout $24

"You don't have to have the straight axles.....you can just get the straight axles adapters and use the stock stub shafts.....save you bout $24 " Spend the money on the axles or the rear end will still be "sloppy" RCP makes very nice parts,worth the money in my opinion.
