DS650 ’04-’07 Dura Blue Eliminator 2+2 Extended Axle
Eliminator is the worlds #1 axle. They are far stronger than stock and Heavy Duty axles. This is due to a proprietary multi-step heat treating process that provides excellent wear and strength characteristics. The process involves super heating the axle, cooling, then two more heats. This leaves the axles so hard they are not readily machinable or drill-able yet can flex without breaking. They are then polished and chrome plated, giving you a product that is superior in strength as well as good looks.
The Eliminator axle comes in a standard length or an extended length, denoted as the 2+2. The 2+2 is a general term referring to the over stock length. The actual length may vary slightly and most of the extended axles are adjustable by hub rings. Good for widening the tread width, adding stability.
Many of the models come with the patented Posi•Lock system which removes threaded sections from the flexing area of the shaft (a source of crack generation).
