Broke Axel, Upgrade recomendations?

Hello,
I am a new member although I am a true jeep nut. I have 4 flatfenders, a cherokee and my YJ. And now I can say I am a true jeep person because I broke my first axel in tough off road activity. Here is the specifics on my YJ
95 YJ with 4 cylinder, 3inch Superlift suspension lift, 33inch tires stock AX 5 trans. stock Dana 30 front end with cable axel disconect.
I broke the front drivers side u joint and axel shafts.
I am wondering if there are heavier axels and u joints that will fit in the factory Dana 30. This is my daily driver so I need to get the Drivers side fixed quick. Anyone have recomendations and sources. Thanks in advance for any help.

I bet DC4wd could get you the parts. He is very cheap and an excellent vendor. Plus he supports the board!

you could always pull the mainshaft and let the hub spin "free" to get you to work.

If you pull the main shaft make sure that you leave the stub shaft with the nut in tact! The stub shaft holds the front wheel bearing together. If you want to upgrade the inner shafts I have some used Warn inner shafts for sale. They use 297 u joints. I believe that is the same u joint that you have. Send me a PM if you are interested. Will let them go CHEAP!!!!!
