A while back the mag featured an axle that bent downwards at either end. It used two CV joints on each side with the shaft enclosed in larger, downward facing axle tubes, that had a removeable maintenance plate at the back. It gave a considerable increase in ground clearance under the diff unit.
Any idea who made these, or if they're still made, and have they a web site?

Those were the Atomic Axles from Over-Kill Engineering. I'm not sure if they are in production. here is link to the web site: www.overkilleng.com

Much obliged! I would imagine that, although potentially very useful, cost would go against them. I'll check the site.
