This replaces it, and the numbers tell you why. Where the 5.9 was rated at 850 horsepower, this handles well over 1,000 wheel horsepower on the factory 27-spline differential. Complete kit with axles, hubs, and extended studs, built for hardcore race cars and high-powered street cars that see occasional track duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThis Is The 5-Lug Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm before ordering.

Worth checking rather than assuming, since these chassis exist in both configurations depending on year, market, and what a previous owner did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eYour Old 5.9 Hubs Won't Work\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant if you're upgrading rather than starting fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit \u003cstrong\u003ewill not work with previous generation Level 5.9 wheel hubs\u003c\/strong\u003e. The hub design changed alongside the axle, which is why hubs are included in the kit rather than sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo if you're stepping up from a 5.9 setup, plan on replacing both. The hubs in this box are what these axles were designed around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Changed From The 5.9\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing if you've run the previous generation, because this isn't a minor revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModular two-piece outer CV.\u003c\/strong\u003e Driveshaft Shop's proven modular design replaces the previous single-piece approach, using a 4340 CV housing with a 300M splined wheel stub. That gives you strength where it's needed with low wear properties and a longer lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarger diameter splined axle bar.\u003c\/strong\u003e Increasing the spline diameter on the 300M bars improves torsional strength, which is how axles actually fail. Twist rather than bend, and more material through the splined section is what handles it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating went from 850 to over 1,000 whp.\u003c\/strong\u003e That's the practical outcome of both changes together, and it's a meaningful step for a car that had outgrown the old ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e300M Throughout\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is why the rating exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e300M is a high-strength alloy used where failure isn't an acceptable outcome, and Driveshaft Shop uses it for both the axle bars and the splined wheel stub. The CV housing is 4340 chromoly in their modular design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a front-drive car putting four-digit power through the wheels while also steering, that combination is what stands between you and a very expensive afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho This Is Actually For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing straight, because this is a serious purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriveshaft Shop built this for the hardcore racer and for high-powered street cars that occasionally see track duty. That's a specific customer: someone making 900 to 1,000 wheel horsepower who has already broken things and knows exactly why they're here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your DC5 or EP3 is stock or moderately built, this is far more axle than the application needs and Driveshaft Shop's lower tiers will serve you better at a fraction of the cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(2) Axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(2) Hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(10) Extended wheel studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by a one year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNon-Refundable After Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth stating clearly.
