Cromo's are overrated. NO ONE run Cromo's in my club, everyone has OEM Spicer shafts with no issue. Yes, some have broken a u-joint, but the ears were intact. No one has chewed the R&P yet.

I rather have the shafts as the weakpoint. I rather change a bunch of shafts than have the shafts be stronger, and grenade the R&P. Careful with those RCV's. If you get a D44 to run these shafts, you'll now have strong shafts, and the R&P is the weakpoint.

I actually hammered them pretty good yesterday on a trail, so far, so good, not rocks though, think that's where I'd run into probs.
Yeah I wheel in alot of muddy trails and not much for rocks and it takes a heavy foot to break an axle shaft in these conditions.... Although it is not impossible, a buddy of mine just busted his front axle shaft in his pickup comming out of a holein 4lo wiht the pedal mashed to the floor, and when the front tires caught traction he was done. It was an open GM 10 bolt but the axle shafts are pretty much the same size as a D44.
