Default New Axle???

I am looking for a new axle ,for my 02 Raptor. I was looking at the Lonestar, but ive heard there never axles are only +3 bc they took a spacer out. Is this true? Because i was looking for a +4 or+5, and i wanted a lonstar, ive heard TOO many bad things about reliability and waurentee issues with durablue. What would you guys recomend doin

Well...I donno to much about lonestar except they are wayy to expensive! I have a Durablue and have for quite a while, no problems at all yet! I haven't even needed to adjust it or tighten anything, it's held together great!

Durablue will only replace your bent or broken axle once, and straighten your bent axle twice after they pretty much tell you to get f*cked

Although I've not had any problems with my Lonestar, I would look a little harder at RPM if I was buying a new one. I could easily run a +5 and not be over 50". After I switched to Durablue rear hubs (steel insert) on my Lonestar, everything stays nice and tight. With the stock hubs on the Lonestar axle, I had to keep tightening the axle nut and loading it up with red locktite to prevent the rear wheels from wobbling.

Ive got a durablue x-33 eliminator, adjustable from -2 to about +4. Extremely happy with it and no problems. I also have the billet hubs, sprocket star, and brake hub. This axle was run on a banshe for a few years before i moved it to the raptor, and never had a problem with it then either. Ice, dunes, drag, tt and mx were all great.

My cousin bought his durablue from a friend of mine. My friend bought a new banshee, tricked it out, and then piledrove it into the ground off an mx triple. His durablue axle just about the only thing left intact. He went to the ICU for a week.
