Stock axles with 33's and 4.7 t-case gears?

Hey guys, i tried searching but didn't get much help. With 33" tires, 4.7 t-case gearing, 4.88 diff gears will the stock axles hold up, or should I think about upgrading to chro-moly axles/birfields?

Sorry, i'm not getting what your saying. I have 33"tires and 4.88 gears with stock axles. If I put 4.7 t-case gears in it should i also upgrade the axle shaft/birfields or will the stock axles be able to handle it?

you will be fine I ran 33s with 4.88s and dual 2.28 cases and never had an issue... when you get a locker up front you will want to upgrade your axles and birfs
