D30 axel upgrade or D44 swap
I have an 07 Sahara 2 dr with the D30 front and a ARB locker in the D44 rear. I want to lock my front with an ARB but wasn't sure if I need to upgrade my front axel shafts also. If I put a locker in now and want to change shafts later will the same locker work? Would I be better off changling axel shafts now and adding the locker at the same time. The Mopar D44 is an option but I am not totally sold on its lockers durability. Has anyone done this axel upgrade on the D30?

You could buy and install an ARB then upgrade to Cro moly shafts later
OR
I believe Superior is coming out with a Super 30 Kit(don't think it is available yet?) That would have a higher spline count(than stock) shaft with the ARB to match. Hopefully someone else will back me up on this. You could check around Superior's website too.
