Gentlemen, honest opinion on rear axle...no time to research.

[ratchettt]

I had some carnage two weeks ago including a bent tie rod. Just got the MC replacement after 9 days with install yesterday. While on the rack yesterday, shop tech found I had a bent passenger-side axle also. I have a JJUSA event next Thurs, so the fix is time sensitive with money down, etc. The only replacements the shop can get in time are ALLOY USA 4340 CHROMOLY. I made the decision to go with these and they are on order for tomorrow arrival. Dye is cast. I know zero about the axles and usually am anal about parts. Am I good or not?

You are fine.. Virtyally any Chromo shaft will be better than the stock shafts.. I pretty much did the same thing when i snapped a stock shaft, although I dont remember the exact brand I went with.
Hopefully the housing is not bent, and it was only the shaft ?

Thanks. Only the shaft.

Just do not like decisions based on expedient rather than due diligence.

Sometimes the best things come from being impulsive. So can the most expensive things lol

If yah want axles with a 15 yr warranty and no size limit for tires if they get bent. There covered. Go with Carbon Offroad. https://carbonoffroad.com/t/jeep-jk-2007-2018-axle-kits

Those shafts are fine. Most chromoly will perform the same on the factory housings. Carbon makes a great axle....they are Currie’s after all!

Alloy is good. Especially considering the time crunch. I went with carbon on my last set. Probably go with them again on the new jeep

Alloy U.S.A. is fine. I know a few people running them with no issues so far. I have a few friends running Ten Factory and that is what I was going to go with when the need arises but it sounds like I need to check out Carbons...
