Heard of a few builds with Suzuki Axles - I think they are mostly from their little commercial van range so should be adequate for a trike providing the diff ratio isn't too low.
Not as common as using Reliant axles but most live axle types have been tried through the years - Ford, Vauxhall, Volvo, BMW, Jaguar etc! Most are heavier and / or require extra work to function correctly in a 3 wheeler!
