5.38 should be good with 35". However, if you take it off road, 35's and lockers are REALLY pushing it for our front axle and you will "probably" be dealing with a lot of broken axles.

Not only that, but the extra torque the lower gears provide worsens the potential for breakage. BigSwede is running 35" tires and lockers on his Troop though...Originally Posted by NJ99VX

So does anyone make HD upgraded front axles for the VX?

Not that I've heard of, unless you go SAS...
Some people use superwinch manual hubs as "fuses"...creating an inexpensive & easy to change "weakest link"...in theory anyway.

you could also cryo the axle shafts.
google longfield super axles. you can send your shafts in ...shouldn't cost that much.

the weakness is not the shaft it is a the CV joints and boots
