David,

Well that's not good news. Was the shaft broke, or the Tracta-Joint?

1. Will the addition of a front locker make it more or less likely that I will break more shafts?
A. Yes it's more likely, just because of the way you will likely use the locker, that is if it's an ARB. If it's a Detroit, Lock-Rite then get read for lots of problems.

2. Are there any aftermarket high strength front axle shafts available?
A. Not that any one I know of has found. There is a WC with a front M axle housing and custom Dana 60 axles, and custom outer hubs/spindles. He put a lot of trial and error and work into it.

V-8 and 38" swampers, nice setup if I do say so.

Will
