I found the breaking point of the 16 spline Ouversons in my front axle and then found the breaking point of a stock universal joint in my rear axle with 2" Ouverson shafts on Showtime at Choccolocco. Bought a set of Violator joints to put in the 2" shafts and a 16 spline replacement for the front. When the rear u-joint broke, it was violent enough to explode the seal housing and put about 30 thousands of bend in my inner 2" shaft. I was able to get it back within about 5 thousands by cold bending it in a press. Had to go to roughly 300 thousands of bend before the shaft would straighten up.

That's very unfortunate but very impressive at the same time. Any video?

Unfortunately no video of the break. My buddies GF got video of me going up Violator and then her phone ran out of space just a couple seconds into the climb on Showtime.
 
Bump. I got to wheel with my rocks about 6 times and I can confirm I have experienced extreme swelling in the sac area. :****:
 
This tread makes me think I have a little girl motor. :****: Been beating on stock rockwells with 44" boggers for almost a year and haven't had any trouble out of them.
