So you are telling me that if you take two front axles that have roughly the same strength stock, and you add upgraded parts to one of them, that axle then becomes stronger? NO ???

Here the the cold hard facts. A 44 with alloy shafts and your choice of beefy u-joint is MUCH STRONGER than a toy front with all the available upgrades on the market. Not to mention toy housings are easier to bend. They also have a nasty habit of getting trashed from the inside whether its a shattered bell that takes out the inner knuckle or a piece of R&P shoved through the front of the housing.

I have nothing against them, those are just facts. Take it or leave it. I plan to use a toy front in my next project...

Exacly, people compare a beefed toy axle against a stock junkyard find dana 44. Put alloy shafts in both, longfields in the toy axle, and longs treated 760X u-joints and that 44 will be stronger.

I am going to have to agree completely with 44Runner here, If i remember there are 3 recent SAS's in this forum section alone. Two with 44's, and one with a Toy axle.

Spend a little time reading those three, and search pirate for a while. You will find more information than you will need.

Edit, as i look on the first page of this forum, i see 2 SAS that have been completed and documented. Not to pick on you or anything, but how much did you search?
