Here is an article on some of the RCV CV shafts from Off-Road Magazine:

Hey, nice to see someone looking at this. I haven't spoken to RCV in a couple of weeks, but I think they are rapping up my axles and hubs in the next few days to ship out to Wavetrac to have in their part of this project.

As soon as they are done, I will make sure to get complete info for everyone. These guys make rock solid stuff for sure.

How much more articulation will these axles provide and how would we be able to increase our wheel travel.

Chris, I will do my best... You know it will be like herding cats... Hopefully, BigJ can help out...

Bah! Damn cats! Yuck!

These CV shafts will not add any wheel travel as they are not the limiting factor. What they change is that they will live a lot longer than the stock units.

And provide more strength at more extreme articulation angles, hence their ability to help with aftermarket suspension/long travel setups. (from what i have read at least)

Agreed, what problems have people had with the stock units?
I come from 20 plus years prepping and Racing off road and increasing travel is everything in the desert. Once you have the travel then you can tune the shocks
How do we take advantage of the available articulation, what is the limiting factor?

OK guys,

Both the Wavetrac LSD and the RCV axles and Hubs are being installed the week of the 16th of July.

Dana at Wavetrac and Sean Carlini at RCV are super excited on how they turned out, and ready to start working with FRF to put together a great deal.

Let me know your thoughts.

I've been anxiously waiting for this package... As always, post up some pics of the install, if you can.
