All the axles I've seen broken have been 2010-11. Was something changed in 2012-14 to make them stronger or have the 12-14 guys just not abused their trucks as much to cause premature failure yet?

The newer trucks have a larger she shaft - one additional spline (34 vs 35). I thought one of the ones broken at RTF was a 2012?

Actually there was

-2010
-2011 (mine)
-2012

I found a company out of Georgia finally that I'm having both axle shafts from the rear sent to to have custom ones made. Since my truck is a daily driver I can't wait for the OEM ones (2-3 months) or RPG chrome-moly ones (4-5 weeks)

Hudlow axle said it would be 1-2 weeks. I told him to make them a good bit stronger than stock. Let me go pull the info and see what material these new ones will be.
