cv axles=crap
recently got stuck on top of a snowy mountain overnight due to a broken cv axle,which i was barely even baggin on!suspension was drooped and i have lift keys so the cv joint angle was extreme.anyone know of aftermarket axle brands that are beefier than stock or can handle extreme angles?

It looks like he just needs a bigger lift...or smaller tires. Tuff country made some for a while, I don't believe they make them anymore. You would be better off getting some 35's and turning down your t-bars. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Just FYI, I can launch at 20 psi and around 530 rwhp and not break anything, as long as my t-bars are not turned up. I have seen many more higher hp trucks CV's survive over 1000 hp, it's the angle that kills them.

Not sure about the Passenger just breaking, I've heard of them breaking both sides...

x2 ... Over working the CV angle. You might find a mfg that has a stronger CV but really if the CV angle is that harsh then all the other IFS working angles match witch means wear on other parts. So dropping the suspension down alittle would help all around.
