if you're not a "mash it to the floor" type wheeler you'll likely be fine with what 90% of the people here wheel. You have the high pinion axle which is plenty stout with the proper upgrades.

I would not lock the front axle with that setup though

The rear is high stress because the vehicle is almost always going forward and up. The ring size is almost always stated as being the weak point even if everything else is upgraded. So the small D30 ring is no better than a D35 ring. So if you had to back up a steep/rough/torturous hill you would likely break the front D30 on 37s even with the upgraded axles/u-joints.

^^^ This is just my opinion and all theoretical.

Don't use an axle that's number is lower then the tire size, ie d35- 33s. D44-37s, etc. Not scientific or factual but hey, it sounds good right?

He said tire size; not tire number. You lose.
