Default 9.75 axle options???

Hey guys,

A few months back I snapped the driver side rear axle in my truck. I was thankfully able to get it covered under warranty but since then I have been weary of it breaking again. I intend to re gear down the road and while in in there I figured doing some chromoly axles that can take a little more abuse.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get them and which options to go with? I am not having much look searching online. Thanks

You and everybody else. You're the first I've heard of snapping an axle.

That usually happens when wheel hop occurs.

I think it broke because of the wheel offsets

That axle was hardened improperly during heat freatment.
Glad there was no hassle getting it fixed
