why did it BREAK!!!???
Ok, I was bumming around town yesterday, a little hard, having fun. Finally I gave up, about 10 minutes later I wanted to feel a little more acceleration, so a lauched a little hard, 3/4 throttle, maybe. Next thing I heard is the loudest noise ever in the rear end. I twisted my drive shaft!! Now are these things weak or what's the deal? I've got a 3/4 drop, a low 13 second to high 12 second truck. Did any of that hurt it?
Kinda cool though!

Red, it's called Rear End Wrap
What happens is when you launch, it twist the rear and snaps the driveshaft.
Like everyone is saying, you need to make sure your angle is correct,
Plus
YOU NEED TRACTION BARS TO KEEP THE REAR FROM TWISTING

You need 6 degree shims with your drop, do you have em? And, I always recommend a drive shaft loop.
