Define HARD? Hard trails, or "I'm an idiot with the skinny pedal hard"?
My 07' X was locked with 38's on pintler locks, trussed , gusseted, 5.13's and a Ripp SC. after 5 years the only thing that went was the drivers side U-joint. That Jeep did the Rubicon, Moab EJS 3 times, trails all over Oregon, WA state, SoCal, Badlands, Gulches, Rausch URE, and others. My relatively new '12 Sport has been running nearly a year on TWF's, locker, trussed and gusseted. It's handled east coast "HARD" trails with no issues on 3.73's.
Wheel smarter not harder. The only real difference the 44 gets you the larger gear set. Thicker pinion, yes an improvement, but If you don't torque the shit out of the 30 and pick smart lines, it will last on 37's.
