installed RCX 6" lift and 35's about a month ago.. few days ago i was messing around in the dirt and heard a loud bang.. crawled underneath and driveshaft was gone.. question is.. curious if this is just a freak thing.. or something i can expect to happen from the lift and tires .. and is there anyway to beef it up to stop it from happening ..

 

dang man that sucks, i would just buy a new drive shaft. maybe buy a stonger one than factory.

 

Replace broken parts have shaft rebalanced and drive. Not a common failure point. You should be tearing the differential apart before this happens.

 

Yes make sure you get it balanced.

will ask at work if they have a link to the write up on driveshafts. basically a driveshaft 101 that talks about balance,pinion angle,critical speed.

It is the sister company to where I work and they build custom shafts for nascar,dragracing 4X4 etc..

 

Here is one of the write ups they did with carcraft
