I never have, But what will cause them to break?
I aint to familiar with having a lifted truck, or how things are done, so I dont have much knowledge of it.

"I have jump this truck on the off road course's at least 40 ft plus @ 65mph all the while drink'n a diet coke"

Not to be a wise guy, but do you think this might have something to do with it?

I droven mine for 10 years on the worst dirt road you ever saw. I lived 5 miles off the pavement and had at that time 33-12.50 /16.5s on it the only part that broke was the mounting plate on the steering box!
