Too low = blown axles??

Not quite as low as it used to be, but still damn low.

and jeff...you mentioned something about the short side?

I'm also really low as well, but have not had this problem yet....or at least that I know of.

If you could let me know what to "feel" for when it does happen? or is this one of those things that when the nuts break...your fooked? aaaaaaand....wouldn't a welded diff put less stress on those axles in comparison to an open diff that doesn't have the other side helping it rotate?

Yeah he swapped to $$$ axles, and then swapped again to even more $$$ axles when he got his quick-change rear end. The short one has more misalignment angle than the long side, usually that's the CV that breaks.

You'll know it's broken when you clutch kick and you hear/feel the sick clunk, and only one tire spins. It's not the nuts that break, it's the CV joint itself. No a welded does not put less stress on anything lol, if anything it stresses axles more since whenever you're turning there's major stress on both sides.
