I'm sure winter temps didn't help either.

Don't you go blaming poor miss mother nature. We haven't had winter temps here for about a week. That's all @majin's handywork

nah it was 100% bad landings,
is a 10.00 replacement for oem, or 26 for aluminum treal set, but the treal set are a 0 degree OR 3 degree, and the factory set comes with 0 & 3 degree.. is this offset? and if yes what difference would 0 degree make if i replaced them with that?

That’s for rear toe adjustment I believe. I’m not sure how they come out the box, but if they come at 0 the 3 degree (1.5 per side I would guess) would give you a little more grip and stability at speed.

And how much does the axle housing cost?

That’s where the aluminum ends will transfer the energy too

I've thought a few times about getting shiny new aluminum axles and other parts for a few of my trucks, i LOVE the idea and look and durability of it..
then i remember how i drive, how reckless and how much i enjoy just deciding to send my truck 60 feet across a 12 foot gap on a tree I'm underneath, or will just decide to try to jump a tree just to see if i can land a few cool flips..
if i drive this way ( which I'm gonna cause i love it) I'm gonna just break more expensive parts, their probaby not gonna be THAT muchmore durable in comparison. like you said. my axle mount would just transfer that over to the more expensive axle, or bend something i dont want bent.
i just need something more durable than stock I'm thinking.
