Those axles are super popular with the "muddin' rigs" down here in the south. They come off the heavy military trucks. The round disc you see above the axle is the brakes. They would fine at slow speed but are worthless at high speed since they spin with the driveshafts. I just like that it is a regular truck sitting on leaf springs.
Shaggy these axles actually work just fine at road speeds. The are Rockwell 5ton axles. They come off of 5ton Military trucks which have been used on highways for years. In fact mud runners run them with incredibly high wheel speed. We primarily use 2 1/2ton axles due to the weight of the 5tons being nearly double. 5ton axles are great for the older monster trucks because they hold up extremely well. You can tell the difference easily by looking at the bolt pattern. 6 lug top loaders are 2 1/2ton where as 10 lug top loaders are 5ton.
Is that the best you can do?
