Don't want to sound stupid here, but I had 10bolts on my k5 with 40" hawgs, and I'd put the hurt on that truck befor I started the resto. Axles held up like a tank, except when I had 35s, I couldn't keep the front left u joint to safe my life. But I never broke shafts.

not to start a fight but..
Hawgs are not really a good "Hook up" tire IMO (unless they're cut)
Swampers/Boggers (or something akin to them) would change that "aint' breakin" thing drastically.
other variables are mud and it's consistancy, HP, gearing etc...

Yea they are cut, and were studded. But I agree, I couldn't pass em up for the price
Women+Trucks= Heaven    chevgal
I have a thing for superchargers...
if you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshitt
