Default What else could break?

I am looking at putting currie D60 axles under my JK, and putting 41 inch tires on them. I'll be installing 1350 coast drive shafts. My concern is the steering components, is there much that can break down there? The extra force to turn 41 inch tires on rocks, what else would I need to strengthen up to prevent from being stranded in the forest.

I would say at least replace the tie rod as well, but what do I know I just drive it till it breaks the replace it.

Not sure if it is needed and I am not speaking from experience but I think a steering box brace or maybe it is called a sector shaft brace might not be a bad idea.
