Re: Live vs. Dead axles

We usually have used dead axles. One year when we cantilevered our front wheels, we went live.

Using dead axles allows you to use the axle as a structural member. I see that as one strong advantage. It does not take us very long to do a wheel swap (but I admit its longer than some of you live axle guys are describing).

As somebody already mentioned, there are some nice wheels out there (IFI's, AM's, etc) that are suited to the dead axle approach.
