Oh, OK. I didn't know what Moser used.
I am not that framiliar with 8.8's. Doesn't anyone make 4340 shafts? Or did you go with Moser for the dual patterns?

Went with Moser because of their reputation in the racing industry.96XJCLASSIC said:
From what I've read 1541 is used in rear axles due to its ability to allow a small amount of "give" without breaking. This allows it to be better with side loads (the rear axle takes the weight of the vehicle)
4340 is used in front axles because there is no side load on the shaft (it doesn't carry any vehicle load)
How much strength over stock are they advertised as-- and due to the c-clip design is there as much advantage to getting alloy shafts as there would be in a semi or full float axle?
I'm not hating by anymeans, they look sweet, I've just heard it argued that because of the c-clip design upgrading shafts wasnt as benificial. Please flame away, straighten me out I am jsut curious.
for the record I'm running a mini-spooled 8.8 so I have considered this upgrade

Makes very good sense. I wasn't being an ass either, just mainly inquiring about material choices. Because I am buying alloys for my 44 in a week or so.

My Dutchman's are nicer! 
1541 is always recommended for semi-float applications. It has nothig to do with C-clips, as the bending moment on a shaft due to vehicle weight and impact loads is the same in any SF shaft. Since a FF shaft sees only torsional loads, you can run a through hardened (usually indicated as 4340) shaft with no worry of shattering the more brittle material.

Mosers are all custom made to order so there isn't really a part#.mingo said:
You just call them and say 8.8, 31 spline, 5 on 5.5", ?" long.

I guess I will be looking for 1541 5 on 5.5 shafts for my XJ44.
