Default non rubi D44 upgrades for 37's

so I have 07 x 2dr

I want to run 5:13 gears fully locked down the road....

For the rear axle what upgrades should be done?

As far as strengthening the rear shafts....what is need for 37's?

cro-mo stock replacements shafts (30 spline)?

32 spline (do they even make these for non rubi?)

or 35 splines?


if the consensus is go with cro-mo 35 splines....what ARB locker part# is needed to work with those shafts in my non rubi rear D44?

I can't remember what the spline count is on mine but I went with an eaton e-locker (funds at the time dictated that) and Ten replacement shafts and so far so good almost two years later.

Do you have a rubi or non rubi rear?

I planned on only running 37's so I did a ARB locker and 35 spline shafts.
Has been holding up great for almost 2 years now.

35sp locker + 35sp shafts

or

30sp locker + 30sp shaft + stock shafts as spares
(in case you bend a flange and have to send them in and wait for warranty replacements)

I went with a 30sp locker with stock shafts for now. I'll upgrade to alloy shafts in the near future when I decide which to buy. The price on the G2's looks good, but Ten Factory ...

I didn't upgrade spline count, I'm hoping to upgrade to full float D60 in the future so I'm trying to keep the cost down. I've romped it pretty good and so far so good.

For the front I plan on the new g2 core 44 axle assembly or a pro rock 44.
Im asking about the 30spline cromo shafts vs 35 spline versions because if the 35 spline are very unlikely to fail with a 37" tire. Ill save up and go that route.
If they can break like the 30 spline just not as often. I think ill go with the 30 spline...keep my stocks as spares.

That also lets me upgrade the rear in stages....ie first the shafts then the locker ect.
