How much of your carnage would you say is from the lift/ bigger tires, and how much is from off road usage? I only have my torsion bars turned 2.5 turns compared to your lift, and I have stock sized tires on the stock rims, but a more aggrssive tread. I'm pretty sure my busted half shaft was from off road usage, but then it was the one that had a torn boot earlier, and it was that joint that failed. I foresaw the halfshafts as being a weak link when I bought it, the Hummvees have the same problem, and judging by the diameter of the tierod, that looks like a weak link as well. I bought my H3 with the intent to wheel it, so the breakage is expected, but it would be nice to know what the limitations are before I am broken somewhere without the tools or parts to fix it. Since you have broken both of these now, I am curious how your modifications have influanced these failures.
