You will want to put a set of Chromo 30 spline Bobby Long Axles and Cv's in. And if you want to go the extra step put a set of chromo hub gears in or drive flanges.

Add to that some rear axels from McNamara Diffs.

These also come with much stronger than standard drive flanges.

If so the axles are under a zook running a ca18det.

Was thinking it was a lux but its only the diffs
if your running zook transfer case get some decent rockhopper gears if you don't have them already.

Some bracing/gusseting around the knuckles especially may be a good idea if you're planning on running deep offset rims.
...I believe this is also available from trailgear/locktup4x4
