They are available, but I believe the stock is going to back orders first. You can ask Mike for a ETA on more stock...

This is a great looking axle! The axle tube is very slim, the pictures don't do it justice. They come stock with XVD's and the turning radius is good.

Here's a few more pics.

Have you installed these axles on a truck, or are they just a sample for the designer? I'm just wondering how are they holding up and if there has been any breakage, or issues?

Not samples, they are production units. Others have bought and used them, It would be better if they post up reviews rather than me.

Anyone have some feedback to share on these? Looks like they may be just what I need on my upcoming build.

Looks like they are both that way, so as long as they king pin angle is aligned and the center of the cvd is at the midpoint of that line there is no problem. And like posted above, that is how a 1:1 is.

Is designed to give a slight ackermans angle when turning which gives better turn in grip.

These have a 10 deg bend and the king pins are aligned.
