EECDOC said:Guys, I've been running the Level 5 Cobra axles for two months. You need to switch over to a 31 spline diff to make it work though. The MN12 axles assembled length is 5/8" longer than the 03 Cobra axle. This length can be made up in setting the assembled length a little longer on a stock Cobra axle. On the Level 5 axles it's a matter of assembling the inner tri pod like a stock cobra axle instead of the way the Drive Shaft shop does the Cobra setup. I've done a couple sets.
I need to see if the inner 28 spline MN12 tri pod joint will mate to the stock Cobra half shaft. If it does This would be another avenue for a upgrade. If you are rebuilding the rear anyway, swapping to a 31 spline diff is not to expensive, and a set of new 03 Cobra axles is about the same cost as a set of Raxles.

Mike, I'm VERY interested in this as I know that the 31 spline is tougher and will handle more. Since I need a Diff anyways and I'm probably doing the Cobra hub swap as well, this seems to make sense to me to just do the ENTIRE swap. Please PM me with more details. I can kind of visualize what you are talking about, but since I've never set-up a set of half-shafts, I'm not totally sure as to what you are talking about.
