It will break again. I suggest looking into a solid axle conversion. Also, I heard from some that if you upgrade to Level5 halfshafts they suck, and they are like $1700. Look into a solid axle if you dont want to worry about it anymore. Sorry about your luck, that sucks. Im doing a solid as we speak, I broke my diff.

who said Level 5 half-shafts suck? Expensive, yes. If you can keep from wheelhopping, Level 5's should be more than sufficient.

Good luck man. Just keep the wheel hop down to prolong your new shaft. Level 5's suck because with any power they still break and your not getting rid of your wheel hop issue. SOLID FTMFW again
