Default Axel support

Ive noticed that a common problem with putting big tires on durangos is breaking the axel. So ive been looking into this and i was wondering if theres anything you can hook up on your truck to support your axel better and keep it from cracking? I know you can probably go to an axel shop and buy a special off roading axels but there so expensive. Is there a way to work around this?

No way other that a full sas in the front..... Weld on that housing the beotch will be twice as fragile. I've tried braces taken from baja examples butstill not good enough... In the end if your doing anything that causes the front end to snap up then you should be thinking about a front axle and not IFS
