    Kane Creek is WAY easier than Cliff Hanger. Kane Creek is one of the more mellow trails except for the one climb up out of the canyon, and even that isn't bad.

    Dude, just to keep it in perspective....

    1. I only snapped my CVs on Hells Revenge which was the first trail I had driven a 4wd vehicle on in my life!!!! lol (I was a total beginner!)
    2. The first time I broke a CV axle, I was locked in the front and was giving it way too much throttle!
    3. The second time I broke a CV axle, I gave it WAAYY too much throttle and was hopping all over the place.
    4. Both of the CV axles that broke were pieces of crap that should not have broken where they did. The NAPA guy was even shocked and that's why he gave me 2 new ones for free no questions asked.
    5. The OEM (junkyard specials) CVs that I swapped in on the trail held up the rest of the trip just fine on much harder trails/obstacles than Hells, at least six more uses of the front locker and a bit more careful use of the throttle. ;)

    I submit to you that my broken axles were a fluke and that you should still consider going to 35s because they are stinkin awesome! :D lol Besides, your truck would look epic with 35s!
    lol yeah.... that would have been impossible on Cliffhanger. Despite the fact that my truck has some decent clearance, I used my sliders numerous times, landed and my crossmember three times, and even dinged up my trail gear bumper pretty nicely! haha
