Any suggestions on stronger rear axles?
Mods. Stage 3 cam ,Long tubes, cold air intake , 18x10.5 with 305 drag slicks. Just broke one of my stock axles and am looking to upgrade to someone stronger and has greats reviews.

Have you done any suspension mods to help curtail wheel hop? Driveshaft Shop and Geforce seem to both be reputable companies to source axles.

ZL1 hardware is also very stout.

Auto or stick? Stock can last really well if you take care of them. Offset bushings and if you're a stick car preload the gear before launching with the ebrake. Stock on a auto can go easy into the 9's

The 1le axles direct fit and have larger cvs on the outside. Get rid of wheel hop and you shouldn't break axles

The ZL1 stuff is great if you're ready to swap out everything but the driveshaft shop makes great axles if you're not looking to swap diff and all yet. Just know that once the axles are beefed up, the diff or driveshaft is next if not addressed. Kinda depends on what power level you ever plan to get to as well. I have a built Tick perf trans, 3.5 inch alum. driveshaft, strange s60 diff and 1400hp driveshaft shop axles and can launch at 5k rpm with over 900hp to the wheels. You just need to make sure you build it to match your power output.

I've been running DSS 1000hp since I broke a stock one, no issues at all with them. I should have done them when I did the Tru-Trac and 3.91's.
The tru-trac/3.91's/DSS axles/uprgraded diff bushings can be had for about 2K, compared to the 5K-6K cost of the ZL1 rear/axles. If your car is 60' @ 1.5X or lower you'll need to upgrade both the differential and the axles.

lpw cover stops stock case flex, trailing arms, 1le axles are a intermediate upgrade.
from your pic the outer cv blew up...1le outer cv is larger/stronger....also means you are having wheel hop... also what kind of alignment? rear can be adjusted so you get better contact patch on launch when the rear squats. good luck! PEACE
