Just wondering if with a lift kit if the extra angle is killing the stock axles. THANKS, John

I have personally broken 3 axles. It seems I may be a little hard on my RZR but, I think it should hold up since its designed to offroad. So far, I've had 1 axle twist the tube completely off and the other 2 completely shatter the rear inner CV joint.

It has been at stock height with Lone Star Racing Long travel suspension since the day I got it.

Shane, did you just get extended shafts or complete axle shaft assy with your kit.

The kit comes with just the axle shafts. I rebuilt them everytime they broke but, it just happened again and again. I ended up buying extended gorilla axle assemblies. So far it been good.

what are you doing when you break... are you in the throttle when landing from a jump or from hard cornering...?

I've been in a jump on the throttle every time. I've had the gorilla axles in for a couple of weeks with no problems so far.

newbie to the board, do you mind sharing what mods you did exactly and how much it cost? where did you get the gorilla axles? and where best to buy?

I just had the front outers replaced on my yesterday.I have a my stockers turned up all of the way.....I beat the piss out of it also. I think its a fluke to be honest. they have 150 miles on them and they were clicking.
