Anyone with a zl1 diff?
Looking into swapping the built ss diff I have for a 3:73 zl1 differential if it decides to pop. Was looking into axels since I will need a custom driveshaft I don’t want to order a kit that has a driveshaft I won’t need. I plan on just purchasing a set of stock axles but want to make sure they withstand 100rwhp. I know the diff will be just fine but couldn’t find anything about the axles. If anyone has some insight that’s making that kind of power chime in please. I know this isn’t the zl1 section but I figure this section has the big power cars.

Mine took multiple hard launches on slicks at 700+rwhp. Going to be in the same car at over 1100hp now. im not worries about them at all. There are zl1's in the 9's on stock axles.

I assume they wouldn’t cheap on the axles since the pumpkin can hold a ton of power so that’s good to hear.

I really like the OEM axles for the ZL1 and they endured many hard launches for me. I'd definitely recommend going that route out of my experience.

Mine survived plenty of 1.4x launches so far.... seems to take a beating, I am Auto too though.
