Where did it bend? How close are the bearings to the wheels?

uh i just warped my axle what are ways to stiffen it up i am using an azusa flex proof 1 " axle

Support, support, support. Think leverage. You need the bearings as far outboard (as close to the wheels) as you can possibly manage. Then, if it's a fairly wide axle or subjected to off-road-esque forces, extra inboard support may be in order.
