I ran an Aussie in my old 35 with 33s and I love rocks and didn't have issues somehow. I moved up to 35s and broke the first trip out, tried alloys and broke them too.

Lockit stay under 33" tire and you'll be OK. With 2wd it is doubtfull you will ever go anywhere, sever enough to be an issue.

D35 gets a bad rep on these sites. BUT most of that is hear say and exagerated. I have seen just as many HD BUILT axles break as I have D35s. Most of the time when an axle breaks it's the fault of the driver NOT the axle.
