Default 97 F150 reinforcement for Burnouts?

Hi F150 guys

I have a 97 F150 (Lariat Supercab Longbed) with the 4.6L Engine and about 102 k miles (165k kilometer).

I make some little burnouts, when i get around corners. Do I need some reinforcement? Because the "shaft" is very long and some mechanics say "don't do ever burnouts with your truck - it will break your transmission or drive shaft", but other mechanics and Ford guys say "it's no problem to do some little burnouts".

What will you guys think? Would you recommend some performance / custom drive shaft?

Greetings from Switzerland

No matter if it's sarcasm or not, it is my baby (I know it's a 97 not a 75 or so) but i would like to keep it as long as possible. that's why I am asking. :-)

Just don't beat the crap out of it. Have some fun and do a burnout here and there and enjoy it.
