The gears are the same. It brakes everytime when understress. Only seems to happen when going up a rudded hill. "4 wheelers know what I'm talking about."
The lift is causing a severe angle on the shafts, the larger tires are more leverage on the shafts as well, so they will be a whole lot easier to break…
You can purchase aftermarket half-shafts that are way stronger than the stockers.
There are a few different companies making them (as posted previously). Do a search online for them. They will be worth the money compared to your time and money replacing stock units.
Or you could give it up and do a SAS

When they say bullet proof that's what they mean. As soon as I got my 07 Hime Charger making 500 horse I started breaking half shafts on street tires. I've got 100 runs on theres with slicks and no problems. My friends with Chevy 4X4's love them too, they don't break.
