Broken steering coupling (not upper intermediate shaft!). Looking

[KYNgsx]

The steering coupling on my truck broke and I am looking for an upgraded replacement. Note that I am NOT talking about this part:

 

 

Here is what broke:

 

 

 

I understand that my truck being lifted with oversized tires (and many years of off road abuse) and a close proximity to the header are some of the main reasons why it broke, but I still think this shaft is way too thin. I can't be the only one who has had this problem.

 

Are there any upgraded heavy duty replacements available for this piece? I am still searching, but so far I have not been able to find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
