It's all in how u drive, if you snap the clutch you could snap an axle too.

The only axle I have broken is a 22 spline front, and I was being stupid
got to bouncing under boost and pop she went

Sidekick or Sami  ??? With 33's I regularly broke stock front anf rear axles. But then again I was following trucks MUCH larger than mine and pounding her hard.
