How have you broken 2 diffs, and what do you call broken......

breaking a front diff IMO is bending the housing and/or blowing the centre its self.

They dont actually, they make great diffs, take into account the power and torque they come out with factory and they are not that bad....

As said you can get the high strength replacements like longfields, cryotreated gears etc... which greatly help with strength...

Then the housing, you can buy the bracing kits off locktup and the housing is strong as.

But unless you drive like a ass or have a V8 in it, in most cases (like mine- 35's double lockers and lots of travel) it is not needed.....

otherwise you spent money you think needs to be spent.... and it can be better spent somewhere else...
