Id run 33s comfortably, 35s would be max id say..i have the same combo you do and will be running 35x12.50.17s within a week or so. I thnk the axles will be fine. If they were locked then I would be nervous.

if the d30 is unlocked u will be fine if u treat her OK. IF the D30 is locked, buy some extra shafts and u joints. The rear end, youll be fine if its locked or unlocked just dont catch any fat air

I run 35s on the same set up. Locked 30 and open 8.25. Haven't had problems. Put them on when stuff breaks upgrade it. Also I think being locked is better for not breaking stuff. You can crawl and not have to roll into things.
