Newer model axles, HP D30 with the bigger joints and 8.25 with 29 spline shafts, would be OK with 35s but with 37s you'll need something a bit bigger. Plan on a minimum of 3k to put bigger axle in and that's if you know how to weld and fab.

dont bother with the D30 RCV's either. chromos and decent ujoints will hold up well to 35's and a smart foot
