Default rear axle problems

I got my 08 1500 with 72k miles on it at about 79ish I put 24x14s on 35x14.50s on and now I’m somewhere between 83500–85000 and I blew my rear. I know the truck wasent made to run those but I see people do them all the time and have no problems. Is there anything I can do to make sure I can run these without destroying my truck anymore. (I have 3.92 gear on rear, highest my truck will fit from factory)

Wasn't there a recall on those for the pinion nut???

Lower gears (high numerically) wouldn't hurt. Heavier axle would take care of it too...
