Default Where to get custom axles made?

I am to the point on my build that I am in need of custom axles. Who have you guys used and had a good experience with? Any other vendors on here do axles? Keep in mind I have CV axles and not a normal solid rear end axle. Closer to California is best but I don't mind out of state if the quality is there. Let me know your opinions!

I can't vouch for any of these, but they got good reps:

Mark Williams
RCV
Vintage Engineering

HTH,

I'd call Moser or Strange Engineering.

Give Frank a call at The Drive Shaft Shop. They are a sponsor here and probably already make everything you need to work for you (with the exception of some custom length axles, which they can make).

Thank you guys. I am sure one of those shops will work. Will try out the drive shaft shop first. I have to support the fellow sponsors first!

that's a bummer. I would have thought they'd make something for 4x4 front axles and be able to leverage that to make custom stuff like what CBM needs.
