Default Rear broken axle! How common?

THe reason I ask. I thought I had bent rear axle flange, so ordered 10 factory shafts, and it was not bent! So, should I keep them or maybe sell and get something else. I would love to have spare front and rear axle shafts but, new shafts that might never be used! Should I put in and keep old ones as spares! Can not decide.

I'v got the stock shafts just wasting away in my garage since I put the G2 shafts in. Its nice to have a backup set when your out it just takes up space in a Jeep that already has little space to begin with. I say put the good shafts in keep the OEM shafts as backups.

I installed ten factory front and rear partly due to have a stronger build when I did the Rubicon last year. I had bent the flange on my previous jeep so I wanted an upgrade.
Replace them and don't look back.
