What axles to run?

[kirby]

I think I have read just about every post about the hp d44, d60, d70, and ford 9". I want to know what would be the best set up to run 37's for now and probably up to 39.5's in the future? I'm going to be needing some new tires in the next few months and figured that now is a good time to swap out those stock axles. If I ran a 60 70 combo how much reinforcing do I need to do on the unibody? I plan on putting in a full cage later this summer so that would add a lot of the needed strength, but is it enough. It's a 98 and I want it to last a while so overkill is probably better than not enough.

if you will run anything bigger than 37s, get 60 front and 70 or 14bolt rear. cage should stiffen thingup really well, but you might also plate the frame rails as well.

What is a good donor vehicle for a 60 70? Also I forgot to say that I would be keeping them full width.
