Those are what you want if you want to widen your TLT axles by a less-than-ridiculous amount. They are long enough to allow you to run 2 hexes instead of one, for a width increase of about 1/4" - 5/8". The problem is that the drive cups are a bit longer on the Blackfoot stub shafts, you need to grind them back a bit to shorten them, then re-grind the bevel inside to match. I did a drawing last year about this let me see if I can find it for you. Where are you Crawling in the Frederick area? |

I can't find the drawing - I'm guessing it was in my laptop that crapped on me a couple months back. Anyway, shortening the drive cups is not absolutely neccesary, but it will give you more steering range. Or if you can swing it - a set of MIP CVD's will solve a lot of your problems just by installing them (wider, stronger and improved turning radius) |

So you just need longer threads? The Blackfoot stub shafts should give you that...
