I have had good luck with the stock ones still. I did break one, but i hit a log at about 30 to break it....lol Luckily that was the only thing I broke that time

i just got the cv's for mine and it was worth it. i have found that the truck steers better under power. how are your shocks set up? i mean what oil and springs? that is a high stress spot but the only things that i can think of that would cause that failure are shocks too stiff and/or a hair line crack in the shaft.
