It's what a lot of HR guys run, myself included. (Well...have but don't run yet lol)

It's excellent stuff, Rob Moore is the man. Give him a call and give him your money!

I've got more pics but they are at work, see my thread somewhere on the first page or so, some new ones are up on the last page.

It's right on par with the Mark Williams stuff, I think a few hundred cheaper.

Same concept, but Rob uses CNC brakes and has all of his own stuff he makes in house. The axle setup is a bit different if I recall from talking to Miller. The splines are MUCH deeper on the Nitro stuff than the MW stuff, I'm no genius but it looks beefier and conceptually would help to distribute the load along a bigger contact area.

They are such a perfect fit, it's almost a pain to slide the axles into the CV's. Miller can chime in, what CV's do the MW use?

With all do respect to DSS, you will not be buying stuff ever again if you go with Nitro, I'm that impressed with it.

yeah, this stuff has been around for a while -- it is really nice for sure

when i was doing research a little bit ago between the mark williams and nitro one thing i can recall that was important to us was the ability to continue to run a 13" wheel...

...and if i do recall correctly with the Nitro stuff you can possible get away with running a 13" wheel on the brake setup that they have where as it would be a lot more difficult with the MW stuff

we don't run the Nitro stuff but back 3-4 years ago when we were having axle problems we almost pulled the trigger on ordering one of their setups -- if ever start to have axle issues again (crosses fingers) we will most likely go this route

would be nice if someone also made an adjustable upper balljoint or "camber kit" instead of having to run re-badged chinese junk!

Have you checked out Progress. They have a nice front upper kit that allows you to move the OEM UCA outboard.

Call Joey http://www.progressauto.com/products.../productID/377

the diameter of the shafts on the Nitro stuff is bigger.
Nitro has the chromoly uprights, where the MW stuff uses oem uprights

So then why not go with the Nitro drivline instead of the MW? Two of the fastest outlaw guys are both on MW driveline.... why's that? They cost more, are not beefier (I don't know that to be a fact), and still use OEM hardware.... Something just doesn't seem right to me....

I won't name names or speak for people, but some guys ran the MW before and the other guy was comfortable with it having already used it.

There was some stipulation with the other guy having some parts already or somthing of that sort.

Having talked with MW I was pleased with their info and such, but then I called Rob and he blew them out of the water. You can hear the passion and interest in his voice, and he being the direct beneficiery of the sale was always very thankful. Not saying MW wasn't, but the business transactions with Rob were great and he was able to work with me on an 'as-I-need-it' basis. Plus those CV's are awesome haha

He offers the drop spindle as well, not sure MW can do that due to their stock upright setup.

The nitro uses OEM hardware as far as bolting in place, and anything you need is supplied by Rob.

I have a pic of the spline differences in the spool with the MW and Nitro stuff side by side, I'll dig it up and post it again
