My setup- 99 xj, 33s, 4.88s locked front and rear, hp 30 and 8.25 rear bla bla bla
My question- I've never broken a shaft with my setup and was curious how common is it to tear shafts at the splines in the 30? I ground out the axle shaft yokes to run full circle snap rings with 760s. I know im already playing with fire with running 4.88s in the 30 but they have held up so far as have the shafts. I always carry spare shafts with hubs already attached to them just incase but I figure since their snapped in with full clips that leaves the shaft to either A. rip the entire ears off, B. break the ujoint, or C. tear somewhere else along the shaft most likely at the splines.
I've done my searching on this (hence how i figured to grind out the ears) but want some personal insight on this, where you still breaking shafts on the regular with full snapped 760s?? I'm not a hammer down type of guy only when I need to. Please share your experiences- especially if you broke along the shaft/splines and what you were doing when it happend.
