They are really strong, but they don't like wheel hop.

Yeah ... I never ever get any of that I have been looking at different traction bar setups but unless I can get on Amazon everything is expensive to ship. Stage 3 wanted 2300$ a pallet for fiberglass fenders. Stupid Alaska. I really don't even drive it that hard not hammer down stop light to stop light only have a .7 mile commute to work have only offloaded it once and wasn't anything serious.

So....snapped the right rear axle shaft this morning ... Am I really the only lifted truck on here that has this problem ? Went to Ford and spent another 349$ on a shaft and wheel seal will put together this evening. I am going todo Yukon shafts now but need my truck today so had to buy a Ford one. I thought maybe it was a fluke when I snapped the left one but now that I know it's a problem I am going to continue to have going todo it right soon.

Hi, wheel hop is any drive line's nightmare. I have broken a few items myself from this, but I grew out of driving like that.

Took it apart actually broke the left again so truck is down until I can get to Ford and get it ordered .

As mentioned, Ford builds very strong axles. I almost never hear of them breaking. You either are really hard on your truck, or you've got some other mechanical issue in the rear differential that's stressing them. It really takes some work to break a 34 spline shaft.

it has been off-road twice second time was a few weeks ago and it sank in a cotton field wasn't wheeling I don't race it or beat on it it has 60k miles I found a axle out of a 14 I am buying to get built this time it broke in the middle of the shaft like I said before I see people doing burnouts on 35 or 37s on YouTube or pulling big trailers while lifted I don't hit curbs or anything she is a pavement princess so idk
