on the axle spines, look fore twisting in the spline similar to a hurt output shaft. that'll be a sure sign theyre on their way out. Ron's Machining Svc is the best one to get Yukon parts from, I'm sure he'd make you a good deal on some axles beign a member. I'd definitely say its worth the upgrade with as much power as your putting through the little 10bolt.

Thanks and with the advice I figure it's a good step towards a little safety. After some research I ended up ordering the Superior Axles PA6013, as they also heat treat the splines for additional strength. I'll post pics once I get the old ones out and new ones up. I've launch on the stock ones at 4200 and 15psi boost before when my 2step didn't set, I'm wondering how they will look. Also have about 30 hits at track off the transbrake.

Haha well she used to have some good ones in Kentucky where I met Her. Girls there all about the lifted trucks, maybe you should there! (PS your rig is awesome as well, love the diesels, one day I'll own one...maybe late next year) Her dad and both brothers race in her family, so she was well used to track weekends. We hit it off right away, i'm a very lucky and thankful guy!
