Currently run MWE axles on a 2" lifted (strut extensions) XT6 with all stock XT6 suspension.

 

I'm wondering if I swap to EJ stuff if they'll be more forgiving or less when it comes to axles angles, wear, etc? The current XT6 axles seem to be doing fine (though not a ton of miles on the lift yet).

 

I'd hate to switch to EJ axles and have them be less reliable than the XT6.

 

Anyone with experience here?

I dont have any experiance with the ej axles but

 

a common lift for the ej stuff would be outback/forester struts on legos,imps,etc. that is all suspension lift.I dont hear that often about the ej stuff eating axles like candy like my ea81 with a 2" lift supposidly does.So maybe the ej stuff can take more angle?

 

also the ej stuff was designed for a wider, heavier, more powerful, car so it should be stronger.

 

again I know nothing,pure speculation on my part.Could always pick up some EJ axles from the junkyard and see how they run if you break the nwe's

legacy and XT6 axles differ a bit, so i'd have to do more than just change the axle though. good point, i would go ahead and swap to legacy stuff then in the future based on that, EJ stuff being made for heavier and more powerful vehicles.
