what parts might you be transferring that power too, that you don't want to break etc... Axles and all??

 

I was under the impresion that the shafts fail (ujoints and boots) from premature wear due to the angles...not just the binding under load with the angles.

 

Yes, I'd rather my ujoint fail than say, my axle shafts. From what I've heard from a few people, it's a good place to have your weak spot.

 

It transfers through the drive train, but it is usually going to be a non-issue, because our engines don't put out enough power to be of a real concern. People seem to be under the misconception that in a critical event only one thing will break. Don't be afraid to use 1350s, because you think it's going to make something else more likely to break.

 

Just my opinion but that all sounds good in theory but I would have to say 90% of the time when a u-joint fails it takes the shaft with it.

While that my be, the point still stands - I'd rather replace a drive shaft than my axle shafts. Driveshafts are pretty pain free from an install point of view and overall cost a little less, no?

 

Yeah maybe I should read the whole thread
