With 35's and 350 hp If I got on it I break axles and or u joints. I went to chrome molly axles and a CTM style ujoint and no more trouble. In a straight line there was no problem, but as soon as a bit of power was applied with the wheels turned,,,,,snapp. Chrome mollies fixed that,,,,,,,,,for now.
