So how do the Dana 30 front axles hold up to 35's, I heard that the Dana 35 rear axles have exploded with 35's, so it just got me wonderin how strong the 30's where?

 

A lot of people are running 35's on the front D30, even a few running 37's. I would be more concerned with the D35 in the rear. It's do-able depending on your wheeling conditions and driving style, but since the Mopar D44's are a good deal I would seriously consider them.
