Nope placed the order, but I'm wondering if I can get away using the standard axles for the time being or if I should upgrade those next
			
		 
	 
 There's been a few posts over the years on this. 
I've been running standard axles in the back of my County for a couple of years with a Detroit. Its done some pretty heavy work and nothing has broken so far. 
Maybe I drive it like a granny - but that's been my experience.
In saying that, I pulled a rear hub off the other night for some brake work, and found that the spline on the inner end of the short axle is slightly twisted. Only just noticeable but definitely deformed, so I've got a decision to make now regarding replacement.
FWIW - there is also a school of thought that says if you break an axle with a Detroit fitted then you will destroy the locker. I have yet to see evidence of it happening in a Landrover salisbury.
