That's exactly what I heard. Bigger case, similar internals.

x3 - I looked into doing this a little while ago when my steering box was loose. I run 35's. Came to the same conclusion - a lot like going to a Dana44 from a JK, you don't really gain enough to make it worth it.

My box just needed to be tightened up, but when it goes, I'll be getting a RedHead
