I'm trying to prepare my XJ to run in the deepest rocks possible with 31" tires. I have a non-disconnect D30 and a D44. I'll have a 4:1 t-case in soon, and I know I need stronger axleshafts, at least in the front.
My first question is about D30 alloys. The only complete set I can find is the Alloy USA chromoly shafts (these). Are there others out there? Do I need chromo shafts, or are there less expensive alloys that would hold up on 31s? I may just get these chromo shafts, but I'd appreciate some opinions first. If it makes a difference, I'm planning to get an Aussie Locker.
My other question is about D44 alloys. At what point is it necessary to upgrade to alloy shafts in an XJ D44? Should I just find a spare set of stock shafts and not worry about it? I have an LSD, and probably won't upgrade to a real locker in the near future.
