how much air do you need to hit before upgrading the rear axle I dont really have tracks or anything around here but woods & stuff ,the most I gut was maybe 10 feet high by probably 30 long thats because I over shot the hill & cleared it then dropped out of the sky ! I know its no big deal to most of you on this site ,speed & distance Im great with but height & the preload of it kickin back at me I could live without ,so how hard do you have to air it out before an axle is a concern ?

Or even better, do what I did and buy an aftermarket axle because you feel like the type of riding you do will trash the stocker. Then, sell your mint condition stock axle on ebay and make 100 bucks. This is the most cost effective way no doubt

i went a year on a stock blaster axle with wheel spacers, going bigger than most people.... lasted until i hit a 40ft stepdown (dirtbike jump, short steep landing) left back tire clipped the landing and bent the axle. wasnt even close to the most air i got. its all about how your landings are.
