i saw a guy snap an axleshaft in a parking lot with a D35 once. on 33s.  it was locked though, and he gassed it.
that was cool.  i've also heard, (i can't verify) that a guy blew his rear diff in a D35 loading the jeep onto a trailer..........   that would be cool......

That's all I'm saying. Just be aware that you (can but) shouldn't just expect to drop a bigger engine in and have everything hold up. You can bag on a 2.5 without breaking anything a lot more then you can bag on a 5.7L hemi swap with stock drivetrain.
