Sorry but I know this issue has been brought up several times but would like current opinions on this.

I knew this was going to happen eventually running these massive tires mudding with these week stock front axles / cv’s on this particular year especially with a 85 lb passenger and me at 240 lbs in the mud. I took my boys camping at the Badlands over the weekend and had no problems till the end of the day when I noticed I only had 3 wheels spinning when I got stuck and my boy was going right thru it with his Sportsman 850. On our way back to camp we took a shortcut up this sand hill and halfway up the hill the other cv blew.

Should I go with gorilla axles or..? Keep in mind I Don’t have a heavy thumb and haven’t had any issue mudding with my wife’s 2011 sportsman 850 stock axles and it has about 2000 miles more than my 2-up.
