Axle question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, I just noticed it about 2500 miles ago and I'm sure they have about 9 or 10,000 miles on them. The truck was driven daily by my dad up and down hills and around tight corners, and now I drive it everyday up and down hills and it sees lots of 65 to 70 mph and I usually don't slow down to what the sign says around corners. I was hoping that these tires weren't the problem. Aren't they hardened from the factory? Should I go with some aftermarket hardened axles? That might be my last resort before I break down and put 3/4 ton axles under it.
