Default Replacing axles

Ok so i need to replace my bent axle shafts on my 1993 F-150 5.0 2wd. I was looking at the Dorman brand. Has anyone used these before?

whats up dude lol. ive used doorman for a couple few five things lol. only had one issue ever with the brand and they fixed the shipping mix up threw LMC pronto. good product in my opinion, I will say I had to use doorman for new spring hangers and shackles in the rear when I did mine. was a lil concerned with obvious diffrences in guage steel from stock to aftermarket, the aftermarkets looked thinner. but put them on anyway as it was the only option at the time, that was 3 or 4 years ago and im wicked evil to my truck no twists or stress crackege yet. but a straight hard part ive not had the privelage.. when it comes to rearends I keep a few laying around incase I need the housing or internals ... lol one time bought a whole truck for a hundred bucks as the scrap yard was clearing out for the newer models when I took it apart to see what I could save took the pan off the yearend and it still had paint on the pinion from when the set the angle when the rebuilt the rearend and the truck was front end damaged I figure they drove for a couple weeks before it died. any who ended up with a practicly brand new rearend, spare 302, and aod tranny for a hundo,,

A real big part of that job is the labor of course. I would check at broncograveyard.com and see what their price is for Yukon axles.
If it turns out not to be a really huge difference you could be putting the best in while you're doing the work.
That way it's an upgrade instead of just a fix. Worth a look to see anyway.

I mispoke - bronco graveyard used to carry yukon axles, not sure what brand they have now but worth a look. summit racing has yukon now though.
