I agree with Julien they really won't "split" but the concern i would have would be the U-joints all though at one point the tubing won't be able to carry the torque load anymore and you'll twist it

No more updates from last night, i dropped that monster crossmember for my Carrier bearing and whacked myself in the head pretty good so i called it a night
