The only thing I don't know is which axle is the best. I have a Dana 30 up front and an 8.25 in the rear. Am I good? Do I have good gears? I also plow with my jeep

He is suggesting you upgrade to a HP (High-Pinion) D30 out of an older cherokee.
YOU have a LP (Low-Pinion) D30.
The high pinion version is stronger because the reverse cut pushes the ring and pinion together instead of pushing the pinion away from the ring gear.

Front Axles
Dana 30 high pinion - reverse cut - 27 spline, 1.16" diameter shafts, 7.13" ring gear - used 84-99 (some axles through 91 are vacuum disconnect, 92+ are non-disconnect, 89-95 with ABS have 5-297x u-joints, all 95+ have 5-297x u-joints, all others have 5-260x u-joints except 84 thru 86 they were CV type rather than open u-joints)
Dana 30 low pinion - standard cut - 27 spline, 1.16" diameter shafts, 7.13" ring gear, 5-297x u-joints - used 00-01
