Saturday I had a rear carrier bearing fail and broke an axle. My current axle is a Cab and Chassis D80 and each axle shaft is 2" shorter than a standard Dually rear. Common sense tells me the shorter axles would be stronger but is there something to be said about a longer axle twist or flex?
Would the shorter axle be stronger and better for a pulling application or would a longer axle with more flex be better?
Im about to rebuild this axle but I have a Stock Dually D80 I could build instead. Interested in your thoughts before I move forward.
