This is the inner right front shaft I broke testing Dan's hubs on my trailtruck. look familiar?
Small block truck, with ARB in the front, and a Miller in the centered rear.
I have accepted axle breakage as part of the territory with these axles. I would like to go big Danas at some point but there are alot of other projects in line first. Plus, between the disc brake conversion, the ARB, and all new parts for an axle rebuild, I have quite a bit of $ tied up in that axle to just pull it at this point.
I run the cheap Superwinch lockouts with the gaurds to cut down on axle breakage(the hubs break first and they are easier to change, just keep a couple of extras with me at all times on the trails.
