all depends on the type of wheelin you do....but yea for allot of people they'll prob be ok.

FWIW, with the type of wheelin I ENJOY it's hard to keep a 60 together ....but for my JK Rubicon these axles will do just fine for quite a while since I'm not ging to be whelein it very hard at alll

I have the 2003 Dana 44's under mine with 37" Creepy Crawlers. They have been fine so far. Of course I am more of a finess driver than gasser.

37's.....the reason I regret not going for the Rubi. I had an 06 TJ Rubi that I kinda wish I kept and threw 37's on. The 35's just don't look big enough on the large body of the JK

I think 35's are to the TJ as 37's are to the JK. Proportionally.

i ran 38's on my TJ with a D30 and only broke a few u joints.
The new 44 has new larger joints, not the 297 or 760. I'm not having any trouble with mine, although I did buy spares. Tack weld the caps to keep from losing them and I think you will be fine.
