At what point, powerwise, do you guys feel it's time to start upgrading driveshafts, u-joints and so on? My clutch is about ready to go out, and I will be replacing with a very stout unit. My goals are ever changing, I can never make up my mind on the power I want. Anyways, I do tend to drive the truck hard, and really don't feel like breaking down. I guess overbuild upfront is what I'd like to do. Is it worth it, or are the stock components capable of alot of abuse? Might be worried about nothing here, but I hate breaking when I need the truck the most.

 

stockers can handle alot. like i wouldnt upgrade drive shafts till i twisted one, and ive seen stockers hold 700+++++ hp.

 

Agreed, unless your pulling or the stock parts are just worn out, you have nothing to worry about. Put that clutch in there and beat on her some more, she likes it.

 

Ok, good to know.

 

ive broken everything that the driveshafts hook to...but not a driveshaft, or even a u-joint for that matter...
