[QUOTE="ntm, post: 1049335, member: 2412"] The whole shock loading thing with links vs leafs is really speculative. The leafs tend to break traction and then violently hook up much more often in my experience. The links are likely to break axles more often not so much because of the lack of a "cushion", but simply because there is more available traction with them, and you're hitting everything at a higher rate of speed. Deflection of the axle tube is also a large contributor to axle failures. Having more available suspension travel and the truss helps out there, so the probability of axle failure between leafs and links is a bit of a wash. If you're afraid of breaking an axle on links, you should still be afraid of breaking an axle on leafs... [/QUOTE]
