Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. Your carnage?
 
You'll also need to regear to atleast 4.56 if you plan on hauling that boat around with 35s. Unless you like burning transmissions up

Not mine. That's on an FJ Cruiser I found with a search. On my chevy HD2500 with stock tires a sheared one off at the end of the bell near the splines. I've broken lots of axles in my land cruiser. They are more like this:

That was back when you didn't have much upgrade options. Now for about $750 you can upgrade the solid axle shafts and joints to extremely strong aftermarket stuff that will hold up to 38" tires and low gears all day long. There's nothing out there to upgrade CV axles in a similar way. RCV makes some shafts for about $2500 a set, and they're considerably weaker than a solid axle from everything I've read about them. There's just not a good option for cv axles to increase strength.
 
really the only way to make the IFS stronger is to buy the Currie F9 IFS center section and make it fit. at that point you can run one ton RCV shafts and it'll be good up to 40's on deadlocks.
