I have not known anyone to break properly set up 5.29s. Zuk (www.gearinstalls.com) even disputes that 5.71s are weak.

Not disputing your experiences and your buddies', 87toy, but most Toys with larger tires simply cannot pull 4.10s efficiently, and to shoot down 5.29s when so many have run them reliably for years flies against larger experience. So do your research, EDS2000, then choose.
