I'm rebuilding and lifting a 85 k5 blazer. I've heard that the stock axles are pretty weak for off roading. Any sugestions for what to replace them with and what veichles to get them off of? Thanks guys.

corp 10 bolt sucks!! I would spring for the 14 bolt axles, they are much stronger.or if you really want; spent 1500 to 2000 and get a Dana 60 front and rear.
ummm.... a 10.5" 14 bolt is much stronger than a dana 60... it's much more comperable to a dana 70HD.

Yep. Heard the 10 bolts are pretty weak. Looks like I'll be searching for the 14 bolts. I've already installed a Rancho lift, but thanks for the advise.
