I am all for moding the crap out of stuff. But I think this is a lot of work for very little gain.

You said you don't flog the rig very hard so why not just run longs? I am willing to bet Action Jackson has put a hell of a beating on his rig.
Run ARBs, part time kit, and longs....Also running hydro assists only helps and will stop the breakage of the sector shaft twisting off like we have all seen in the 80s. I run a 80 series tapped box with a toyota pump. Don't even notice its there until I am in the rocks and notice I can still steer.

Just because you have a free axle doesnt mean its a good idea...

This is just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt.

Good luck on your build though...
