Default 35s with dana 30 and 35 question

I have a stock 2010 JK and I want to run 35's but I have the dana 30 and 35 and was wondering if this will be a problem with breaking? This is my daily driver and I dont do a lot of wheeling, maybe a little mud or just taking trail or something I can get my Jeep thru. I dont do rocks or heavy mudding. I will be upgrading to a better lift(going to use budget lift) and dana 44s at a later date. Just needing so input so I dont break something before I get the upgrades.

you already have a dana 44 in the back, and a dana 30 in the front of your 2010
yes they will hold up to moderate wheeling with 35's

Your 2010 has Dana 35s in back???? Thinking. I thought all 2010 ran 44s in back. I run a Dana 30 up front with a 44 in back with 35s and do heavy rock crawling. Have not had a single issue and been running this set up for a year now. I know one day it will break and then I will upgrade, but if isn't broke, why fix it. Lol. It really comes down to how heavy u push on that skinny pedal.

D35's rears were used in some non-rubis in the first half of the 07 model year. I believe build dates up through Jan or Feb 07. Everything after that is a D44 rear.

How soon will you be swapping to a front 44? If it will be a while, you might consider adding C gussets, but I wouldn't worry about sleeves or a truss.
