I have always used Moser but Strange is a good company as well. Never broken an axle in one of my trucks though to need replacing.

I am pretty sure moser will cut you a set of axles for like 300 bucks, you won't break them..

Thanks for the help guys the new ones are on the way. I gess 5.13 gears 36" mt baja claws and a big old burn out is all it takes to kill the stock set.

That will do it. The larger the diameter of a tire the more leverage they have on the axle, then the 5.13's gave you plenty of torque to twist them.
