Convert to 1330 size joints?

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Seems like no matter what I do, I blow front drive lines.. Three times this year, right at the diff, at first it was the strap and bolt kit, then it took out the yoke, So I upgraded to a U-Bolt style.. Now I'm sitting here with half a trunion(sp?). Bolted tightly to the yoke as the joint broke in half..

What should I do? HP30 & 231J.

Someone advised it could be bad angles.. I'm stumped on that..

Are you sure your not hitting it on something?? I see its a HP.. Just a question.

Are you using actaul Spicer joints? I've spit out parts store version easy but never a Spicer. Also, a 1330 isn't that much of an upgrade, it still has the same size caps just a little wider trunion. 1310's also allow more operating angle and there's many people that have no problems with them on 1tons and big tires.

Take a pic of your driveshaft angles. My guess is that's the issue.

seriously? you shouldnt be busting a 1310. its prob something with your angles.

I think you all have answered the question exactly how I expected..

It's angles

changing the angle of the control arm mounting doesn't change the angle of the driveshaft

If you're accustomed to launching your XJ like in your sig pic then it is probably shock to the driveline as you land. Try shifting into neutral as you are in the air and that should help relieve some of the shock on the driveline.
