Truckdude hit the nail on the head, something is binding somewhere and causing that CV joint to lock up and break.

I hear what you guys are saying, but since we used a drop-down bracket lift (and not a spindle lift) the axle shafts are at a 'stock' angle....
Also the alignment is withn spec...again because 'everything' was dropped down.
I know if the front diff didn't have an air-locker, this wouldn't happen...there is NO slip, so all the torque is applyed to both wheels, all the time.
Just didn't realize this front end was that weak.
