The shortcoming of the Dana 30 series diffs is the axles. They break right at the drive splines. There are aftermarket axles which are stronger that can help a lot.The problem is that the suspension lifts change the drive line angles, and the reason for the lifts is always bigger more aggressive tires that increase the traction and result in the axles being the weak link.
I have used these differentials for thousands of miles off road without a problem, but if you drive hard and fast off road, then consider changing to the Currie 9" Ford conversions.

If you are serious about building an offroad rig Spring Over Axle (SOA) is the way to go. Build your rig in phases. Axles are a big investment, but Chevrolet axles will bolt right on to the jeep springs and solve the lift and axle problems way cheaper, simpler, and stronger than the way you are talking.What size engine in the Z06 corvette?
