After having broken 2 rear axles and several leaf springs I am not a fan of either. I have also seen several broken front axles. I would change out everything and put in a set of Dana's if it is possible. It would certainly be much stronger and more stable. You may as well change out the leaf springs and put in something a little more common such as Wrangler or CJ leaf springs. It would all require a lot of work but would pay off big time in the end! -Jeff
