Default better axles

after breaking many front axles,its time to upgrade.Has anyone got any opinions backed by facts on a good heavy duty axle-Gorilla,Turner or Rhino are the three I am comparing now.I have used Monster Axle from CVMan.com but have shredded the outer cv cages enough times to think its time for a change. Also has anyone used the cool aluminum Hilliard cage from roxatv.com?

Had gorilla axles running 29.5" laws on my 05 800 and superatv's rhino axles running 32" terminators. Had no issues with either axle.

what are you doing to go through so many axles? I punished my 08 outty max 650 with 28" outlaws through mud, rocks- you name it- and never broke an axle... you shifting into awd (4x4) at high speeds?

i think the main reason axles break is that someone gets in the mud or the snow in my case, and they turn the front tires lock to lock, when u turn it just puts so much stress on the cage, when i ride in the snow, i hit the drift and if i stop moving i back up and get another run at it, not a big deal to me

i agree that gorilla axles are a good stronger replacement then stock.

Gorillas are VERY good and a guy gets "sticker shock" at first glance but how many stock axels do you have to put in to equal 375? plus the greif of having them break in the middle of your ride.
