    What I am thinking he meant is when the suspension is at is max the driveshaft splits in two. I had mine do this when I was trying some rock crawling with my F250. All I did to correct it was add limiting straps to the axles and it never did it again.

    Ok cool.I will have to check into straps if i max it out.

    However upon further info about the new bearings.I will have to have the old one pressed out,and the new ones pressed in.Not gonna be cheap i heard.
