i was going to order the ssd portal covers to get some extra weight down low but for a little bit more money im looking at metal portal axle swaps. are these worth it? complete all metal axles?

i'm wanting to see what others have gone with i dont mind spending more money if the fit and finish is good.

Plastic slides over rocks better than metal.. Go with the brass portal covers In my opinion.

it doesn`t say Vanquish on so I wouldn`t considered buying it

WAY over priced! Buy a pair of Yeah Racing aluminum housings for around $50 and add the metal portal bits of your choice.

I went with the "generic" metal parts and assembled mine. You can get the main housings on eBay for less than $20 ea. and all of the other pieces are pretty reasonable too. Then you can go with portal covers as heavy as you want. I like 'em because it let me add weight without stuffing the wheels full and they're stiffer and stronger than stock. I also went with the c-hubs that have the shock mounts built in. Watch out for the heavy knuckles, the ones I got limited the steering too much, so I swapped them back to modified stock ones for now. They really improved my trucks performance and I'm happy with them.
But I'm no expert.
