Recommendations for Drivetrain
Here are the facts:
I currently have a stroker and a supercharger in the mail.
I will be running 33x10.50's
Currently have 8.25 and a Dana 30
4.10's will be installed front and rear with a Detroit in the rear with a Tru-Track in the front.
My questions:
What would you recommend for the front axle to handle all the added power and locking? I was thinking about the chromoly shafts which are supposed to be 40% stronger... but I don't really know how much a Dana 30 can withstand as it is.
What's the real difference between a chromoly with the standard splines versus an axle with more splines?

Do you plan on going to larger tires? How hard you plan on driving it?
Axles with more splines likely means the shafts will be bigger and which means the axle overall is probably stronger. Chromoly shaft can be made for any axle. If your going to be putting down serious hp, then probably a good idea to ditch the jeep axles.

Maybe blowing a few ricers out of the water on the street every now and then.

So, Dana 44 is your recommendation for the front? Is that wider than the 8.25?
