Who has one and how well is it holding up? I want to extend my rear tires with an aftermarket axle but have heard some negative feed back on some of the brands: bending, breaking, not covered by warranty, etc.

 

I would say that if you haven't broken your stock axle and you aren't doing massive jumps, I would go with a DuraBlue Eliminator. I had that on my Raptor and it was adjustable. I've heard some bad things about DuraBlue, but if you get any axle except their "Heavy Duty" stock-type replacement which wasn't any stronger than the 500s, then you'll be ok if all you do is trail ride, dunes, or some jumps. I think RPM and Lonestar also make axles for our quads. Lonestar's Axcalibar has a true lifetime warranty, replaced with no questions asked. I'm not sure about RPM, but I thought I saw them advertising an axle for the LT500.

Good luck.

 

Read this before you buy anything from Durablue. They don't like to honor their warranty, and if they do honor it they will only do it once, after that you gotta pay $175. Doesn't sound to me like a company that is very confident of their products.

 

Well, I certainly appreciate that kind of information. That's just what this forum is good for. No Durablue for me, because if there's one thing I can do, it's break something. I'm going to look at RPM and Lonestar's sites.
