The best birfields?

Just want to know who makes the best aftermarket birfields available. I'm kindof torn between the longfields w/a lifetime guarantee. Recomended 39" and under tires w/out locker. Or the Trailgerar dirty 30's no question asked guarantee. marlin and allpro still seem to have the same old stuff with a crappy guarantee or nothing listed... I'm running 38's w/ a welded front and most of the time i'm running washed out, rutted up trails or on boulder piles so the stock ones don't last long. Anybody's opinion is appreciated

In my opinion LongFields are the best.

bobby longfeild tested the dirty 30's his axles are still far superior

he recommends no welded or spooled and 39's or smaller

I have abused his axles with a welded front and no problems to report. the other problem I have noticed with TG's dirtys is their is no mention of the much needed upgraded hub gears.

if you want a to see the testing log on to NWWheelers.com and search that forum pirate 4x4 may have it too

Thanks for the input guys. Think I'll take your advice and get the longs. I know they've been around a while and always heard good things about them.
