Default Arc shaped axle?
I could have sworn I saw something on Extreme 4x4, but cant find anything.

The axle used cv shafts instead of standard axle shafts.

Help me out!

I know what you're talking about, I know it will cost more than most Cherokees are worth, but that is about all I know about the axle itself. Go the Extreme 4x4 web site and take a look.

so not worth the money for the coast of an atomic axle you can get a Mog Portal or a 609 for less money.

Same thing I was thinking when they first came out years ago and Peterson 4x did a write up on them.

I though, why not just go portal?

beat me to answering that.

If I had the money, I would even choose built Currie axles before I would spend more money on those.

Yeah, Ive seen those... not worth it if you ask me...and CERTAINLY not worth the price tag.
Like JakeWI said, I too would rather buy the built Curries, before those...
