I did a search on the forum and I'm not finding a definite answer in regards to a aftermarket option for stock length max tow rear chromoly axle shafts. I would like to keep my trac lock in the rear as I find it is adequate for my use case. I should be able to custom order some; has someone measured the stock length of the axle shafts?

Edit: Specified max tow in the original post body since it was only in the title.
I found these Yukon chromoly's that should work with JT Max Tow:

YA WD44JT-33.1

Notice they're 33.1" long and fit both sides.

Supposed to be 200 in stock. Ordered a couple, will see.

Cool, mine came in and it does say 33.1” on the sticker. The code (drf) matched with what the dealer gave me. Will install this week.

Nice! Let us know how it goes.

Yes, YA WAK-009 is the full kit for both sides with seals and bearings, while YA WD44JT-33.1 is just a single shaft.

I will edit my comments from before once I am certain the install went smoothly so that whoever reads this in the future doesn't get confused.

How did this come along?

Been looking and waiting for new shafts. Dont seem to see that Yukon has front shafts yet though.

Just broke in all the recent updates to the axles and happy to report it worked great.
