If i remember correctly, stock shafts have a torque rating of 2150ftlbs and u joint style 1310's is only 1850ftlbs. I found some brand new stock shafts for cheap and may pick them up. But im only mildly lifted. My stockers have been mint. 76k
Not knocking TW shafts, dont get me wrong. Just would be awesome if the aftermarket would bring rzpezzaazzzazaa joints to market.

I know how everything works, That's why I asked why you are surprised that your driveshafts have lasted that long. you must be running 10" of lift or something. anything with 4 or under driveline angles are corrected if installed using proper equipement. The only reason people replace the stock shaft is clearance up front and/or trail damage. TW are super strong shafts and should last you 200 plus if you keep them up.
