Default Help my glide broke a tail shaft....

I am trying to figure out why it broke so it doesnt happen again. The tailshaft cracked at the bottom right by where it bolts to the case. The car is solid with no flex. It has solid motor mounts and a rubber trans mount. I just put the car together and have made about 15 passes on it then it busted. It does have a vibration but doesnt seem major. Any ideas why it did it?

I did lower the car by moving the coil overs down 2 holes and now I am wondering if it may have thrown the pinion angle off. Its a ladder bar car.

Thanks for any input, I am trying to get ready for the Edgewater 5 granders this weekend.
