I'll see if I can post some pics of this. I do have some negative angle do to the drop kit, but I didn't think it was to much. The front is strapped down, has QA1's, superdiesel center link, supersteer idler arm support, and HD cognitos. The thing still shakes the front end. I leave with at approx. 12lbs. WTF am I doin wrong here??? I also want add the fact that the axle that broke was a remanned one for 70 bucks. It literally exploded where it bolts to the diff. Tire shake? Crap axle? Thoughts please

Look at this site. I don't know if anyone has used them on here or not.

They make thicker ones, and also a spherical designed one. High dollar stuff though. I don't think i've ever seen the shaft give out, always the joint, the joints need to be stronger not the axle shaft itself.

This is what I wanted to here! Axle is out, but noticed that the bracket that holds the diff to the frame has been distorted and its leaking fluid at the case.:(I really don't want to pull the diff out again.
