Anyone else keep snapping CV shafts?

[ShadowRejects]

I don't understand how some people break so much. My 98 was running full crank with 35 inch mud grapplers never broke a shaft and I wheeled that thing hard. My 05 has over 50k miles on it with full crank and 35s and still not a single thing but a hub going bad on me.

I don't think your idea of flipping bars to get your front end higher up is such a good one if you can't keep parts at your current height.

Everything is fine except for the CV shafts. i guess it comes with age. 20 year old moving parts,,, they gotta break sometime,.

Ya wanna play, ya gotta pay...............

amen

My truck is cranked pretty high and I used to wheel my truck pretty hard. I never broke a cv shaft except for once when I broke a shaft and two outer tie rods at the same time but thats because i was being dumb and had a heavy right foot. Since then I have only replaced one cv shaft just because it had torn boots. As far as front end components and alignment I haven't had any irregular issues in over 5 years besides normal wear and tear.
