The 8.8 is overrated. It still has c-clips and if you are upgrading why would you put those in. For the same coin you can get a 9 inch from a car (roughly same wms)and run 38s without worries with some decent shafts. Most of the shops around here don't recommend running bigger than 35s with the 8.8.

Just because people destroy equipment doesn't mean the part is to blame. Maybe your guy is just a ****ty driver, or was having a run of bad luck. It happens. I have seen a guy destroy a HD tie rod on a trail that I went thru immediately ahead of him ... with stock steering. Does that mean his stuff was bad or he just didn't know what he was doing?

Wow
Hm Female + Jeep = very nice.
I second fantic's picture request!
As for you axel I think you should keep what you have but i also think you should swap it out and sell me what you have.
As for the (_______) who ripped out his axel's I mean common i run 31"s and stock steering and a POS D35 and i can keep up with a lot.

You's guys are nuts ... how did a thread about an axle swap turn into a picture request?? 
I can assure you ... I am NOT what you all expect.
Gotta go to work now, but I'll think about that pic ...
... and yes, I did say "you's" - after all, this is Joisey!

Sorry for the off topic picture request, jk, but i assure you i am not that superficial as you think and i only expect a happy person with a big smile near the jeep, just to give a face to the user. I am on the other side of the world and i want to see you.
