Yes. Provided that they were used within the parametres of the warranty. There are 2 users on this site that I know of that have had replacements under warranty.

Have you broken one?

What are the specs of your rig?

There used to be on their site before they re-vamped it. I think it said 39" tyres IIRC.

There have been guys in Rock Crawling here that have used them with 40" tyres without problems. Just make sure you either run full-time hubs or buy the hub gears if you are using free-wheelers. If the free-wheeler breaks it can take out the spline on the shaft and no warranty cover for that. Chromo hub gears stop that.

Bobby is excellent to deal with. If you have real concerns with running them, then shoot him an email.

But I think your front diff will break long before the Longfield ;)

Snapped a longfield 30 spline axle after 4 years of use, well Marin did.

Longs were happy to warranty it no questions, all they wanted was the old one to examine.

Very good to deal with.
