I thought the whole point of bags was to raise the car to a non-damaging height for driving and then slam it when parked for shows and such? Maybe raise the car a little more to save the axles.
Are you using rotated mounts? They help offset a little bit of lowering but not enough to help in an extreme case like a bagged car.

Yeah I would suggest the rotated mounts as that will buy you a little more angle than stock ones, which might let the cheapo axles live a little longer.
Those aftermarket axles don't like huge angles as much as the stockers, so they will usually last even less time.
