Default Help picking?

I just put on a three inch lift and added some 35s. I know I want to regear next but have some questions. A buddy who is a mechanic said I should put a locker in the rear which I planned and run the d30 til it breaks and put in something bigger then locker it. My question is when I do the rear should I put in axles to? Should I just go ahead and put in different spline numbers or will it be ok to run the stock size? The up front should I take that advice or would sleeves and axles, and again different spline, be good enough? Thanks

I have looked at them but if I spend the money am thinking about selectable? But if the LSD gives good traction I wouldn't mine saving a few bucks? Do you have the 30 up front?

Yeah I tried to go test out the new lift and tires today but the trail was covered in snow and ice a little to much to chance by myself. I am really torn on what to do next I want gears and lockers but different spline shafts would add alot of money at once and don't want to build up a 30 much if I am going to have problems with it.

This with a Detroit, leave the 30 open.

Also ECHO I'm interested in seeing your long term results with that combination.
