Which MT tires you getting? I thought you were worried that too much grip would break things. I'm interested to see how much you can put through the rear end because If I could lose the drag of 4wd my back end would improve.
(mental note, will the 15' use the same rear end... hmm)

There are 9sec Lightnings running a 9.75" rearends. My old truck lifted on 38X15.50 with 4.56s in a 9.76" would pull 2.08 60' at the track and after 110K miles still going strong.

MPT has mt that they use on their ecoboost. I'll use those and not sure on size. Believe it's the same as my 305 45 18s. Yes I'm concerned about breaking something. My boy just broke his axle on his 2013 f150 5.0 sc 555rwhp so yes a little nervous. But will take it slow at first

Man I told you those Nitto's would not cut it.
Personally I think some Hoosiers or M&H cheaters would be better as they flex like a slick, whereas the Mickeys don't give much and just stick. How do you break a solid Ford axle? I thought they were bullet proof. Wheel hop?

Congrats! You guys in these heavy trucks are killing it. Makes me want to find the time to get this turbo on and see what I can do being 1000lbs lighter.

Where is that breaking at?
Is this the rear axle about where the axle tube goes into the pumpkin? Might be time to have that tube welded solid.
We do that on our half ton mud race trucks. Or we have a broken axle hoard, on our 10 bolt GM's
