Don't go bigger than 35 s that's what you do and don't get lockers for the d30. 4.10s will be alright for now. Good for hwy driving. Look at Mickey Thompson atz or mtz

A lift really doesn't effect the the axles. what effects the axles when a vehicle is lifted is the tires and how you wheel it. if you say are using it mainly as a DD then you really don't NEED to worry about the D30. I run 35's on my JK with a D30 and have taken it to Moab several times and haven't had a problem with it yet. Just reallize the linitations of the D30. Also the gear ration of 4.10 should do just fine with 35's.

As far as which tires to run that's kind of a personal choice, I would suggest running a all terain tire for a DD. You'll get better tire life and also better fuel ecconomy with the A/T. I would go with the BFG A/T because they have a good tire life and they also look agresive and do pretty good off road. You might have better luck if you gave some choices as to what you're looking for.
