I just got my CV Axles from Quella yesterday. Took about 3 hours to install due to having to drop the exhaust but other than that pretty easy.
I just finished 110-mile test drive. Overall, there is less vibration at 80+MPH and seems much smoother under heavy acceleration.
More clearance for the exhaust with these too.

What was the cost? Are you going to safety wire the bolts?
IMO to do this upgrade one should also change the ZF output shafts and the stub axles, then do away with all the clumsy spacers / adapters.
Cost was $2400 +shipping for the stronger 600+HP version. The less that 600HP were a few hundred dollars cheaper.
I'm going to recheck the torque on the bolts in another 100 miles or so. I wasn't planning to safety wire them, but it would be easy to do if you change the bolts.
@joules, I plan to change the input shaft this summer to resolve a gauling issue with the TH bearing carrier.
What is the mod for the axles you recommended? The CV axles were preassembled so there was nothing to install with the spacers.
Thanks,
John
Wilkinson offers a full kit with the ZF output shafts in CV flange and CV flanges for the wheel axles. This would not be retrofit for your kit as removing the adapters with your current kit would necessitate longer drive shafts.
