Best/Cheapest 28 spline SB axles?

[BRONCROB]

I am going to rebuild my rear end and would like some input on the cheapest/strongest 28 spline axles and where I can buy them.I am also going to replace my ring and pinion and all bearings.I really don't want to spend a fortune on it,but I want it back a little better than stock.Thanks in advance.

WH has 28 spline axles made of the same material as their HD 31 spline axles. One of our eb brothers in Apopka Florida (Jim D.) has been running them for quite awhile with big power and big tires. They seem to be holding up.

Hmmm best n cheapest in the same title

I think most all of them are Yukons.

If you're replacing R&P already then a swap to a 31 spline carrier would be pretty cheap, 31 and 28 spline axles are very close to the same price.

X2 on the upgrade to 31 splines especailly if your going with lower gearing and bigger tires and or a locker of some type. Price differance is minimal but strenght is grealy improved.

I agree with the 31 spline swap, easy to pick up 31 spline carrier unless you already have a 28 spline Traction lock or other type of limited slip or locker.

cheapest is to get a half dozen stockers from people having them just siting in there garage doing nothing.

Ok I think I am getting the Yukons but need to verify the part numbers.I found some on Amazon for $308 and free shipping.I have a small bearing with 28 spline axles 2&1/2 brakes.I think this is the right part #(YA FBRONCO-1-28)Would someone verify this for me before I order please.

I would heed this advice!
I upgraded my axles, R&P to 31 spl. IF you are looking at a locker in the future you won't find them for the 28 spl. at least in ARB's.
Look at a 31 next to a stock 28 and you will see the difference for the same money. The 31's are much beefier!

lots of folks run 28 splines for a long time with no issues, depends on how hard you run the rig....

Thats what Iz gonna do .If stock lasted since 67 and new are X% stronger than stock ,they should last long enough for me.I wish I could afford Dana 60's front and rear but I can't now so...Any idea about the numbers?
