so i bought some new wheels and tires and when i was installing them i noticed my front axles are bent, the passenger’s side is fairly noticeable and we have a big trip to CO planned in 2 weeks, my questions are

1) do i need to replace them or is it ok to run for a weekend if i dont use 4 wheel much?

2) anyone have any experience with a brand called Niche Tuff Axles? $80 on ebay for the axle assembly

or the EPS ones for $100?

i’m going to get axle armors eventually, but prob not til after this trip since i just bought wheels and tires and now i gotta get at least one axle 🙁

or should i just bite the bullet and get the more expensive ones now?
