Gorilla or Highlifter axles (same thing)
If you have a lift installed, you may want to take it out if your breaking axles. The CV's are stronger and take more of an angle on the Gorilla/ Highlifter axle, but you can still twist off the axle between them.

how about some thumb control?
what tires are you using thats what typically breaks axels.
Big tires and or holding the gas to the bars in soup spinning and then hooking up.
ill tell you right now you can still break axels if you drive like that. but more likely it will go down the line next you will break drive line parts and when you beef that up you end up breaking internal gears.
thumb control is key to axel life.

dont go and buy gorilla axles,buy turner axles wat stronger than gorilla and about the same price $600 per axle.
I kinda thought the same thing a 686 isn't that powerful axles are easy to break on stock machines without proper control shooting mud 10' in the air may look cool to the guys on dry land but it only digs ya deeper and breaks chit especially if the wheels are turned or you catch a root
But if that is you style Gorilla or Highlifter make a pretty big axle...with a big price tag also. As for the Turner axles I don't know anyone who has run them

Ive seen it more than once.
Ive seen gorilla axels do the same thing.
Its all wheel spin typically that breaks them. your spinning along and then the tire hits something that makes it stop.. and Pow axel or cv blows up.
gorilla axels help but they aren't a 100% cure bikes just weren't made to be rode like that.
now over time cv's and axels sometimes give out with larger tires and that's when you should get turner or gorilla's but if your blowing them up you are prob going to blow up your new ones too.
just my 2 cents.
