I'm not. If you read my post, i specifically said stronger steering and better flex as pros for the swap.

As for axles, best tests i've seen show stock birfields as, at best, marginally stronger than CV axles. Some say equal strength, but i think they are being a little too optimistic about CV's.

As for capability, i was referring specifically to the system the OP specified. He will be slightly more capable with is flexy SA set up than he was with his IFS, but he will still have LSD's front and rear.

He asked for opinions. More than likely he will never have an issue with his stock axles.
