Update: I have the Yukon rear axle assemblies sitting on the shop floor along with the full set of Power Stop brake upgrades.

I do not, however, have the RCV shafts yet...

I was going to do the whole thing in one operation, but now I think I may just knock out the rear and get to the front axle when I have everything. For the front, I will also be welding in the Artec truss kit to strengthen that business up a bit.

I think the 2 piece is the right option all together less wear and tear .please post pics . Don't forget about those axle seals not to score them up unless you got new ones.

Been following as I am looking at similar options of fab RCV or the MetalCloak Carbon fiber since I am pleased with their lift.
Curious how the brakes are working out. Aren’t the rotors you chose slotted? If so, any concerns of debris from off roading?

I wish I could say I know,
But,
The front axles were back ordered until the end of March...were previously back-ordered till the beginning of March...!
I can say that the boxes of rear axles and brake parts are doing a great job holding the garage floor down!

I’ve had Powerstop z36 rotors for many years. Zero issues collecting debris. Zero.

Like the humor while being delayed lol. Unfortunately don’t like parts delays. After looking into it, the MC fronts are just one piece with fad delete, so I believe I will go with RCV fad version.

Smart call, if you don’t like axle seal leaks.
