The engineers have optimized the materials and processes they use in manufacturing those axles. They use 4340 Chrome Moly steel for the bars, housings, and cages. The housing and cages are rough cut, through hardened, precision cut, induction hardened, and precision ground to within .001”.
By holding tighter tolerances and optimum metallurgy, those axles run cooler and last longer than OEM. Too loose or too tight joints generate heat and shorten the life of the axle. There is no recommended break in procedure for the Outlaw DHT Axles.
They use Thermoplastic Polyether Ester Elastomer (TPEE) which is far superior to rubber or neoprene. TPEE is the most puncture-resistant boot material and will not wear out over time unlike rubber boots. TPEE also allows the design to be more low profile, reducing the need to grind your ATV for clearances.
They use special purpose-built bands that provide consistent tension in any temperature. The bands are spring tensioned to always apply a constant load to maintain a tight seal. Some universal size bands can get distorted during installation and cause boot leaks.
Each axle bar has been custom tuned to maximize the performance of the axle assembly with a 2”-3” lift kit. They tuned the length of every bar on EVERY application to get the maximum angle at full extension.
