question about using 529's with 37'' tires

i did a search and found nothing.
hear is some background
i have a 95 4runner with the 22re.
the speedo stopped at 330km.
i will be doing a sas come spring time and i have a set of diffs hear with 529 gearing. its stock axle shafts in the rear and the previous owner said he had long feild axles in the front.

now for the question: will these axles hold up to 37'' tires, or would i be better off with 35's?

the truck will be wheeling and driveing long distances.
by wheeling i mean moderatle to hard not extreme.
it will also have a trailgear doubler it that matters any.
thanks in advance.

You'll be fine. Longfields are plenty strong. Also, 37's should be pretty close to dead on for that gearing. I have 22re/5 speed/35's and am about 3 mph under my speedo and lose about 1 mile every 20 miles traveled with that set up. I've thought that 37's might correct both of those things.

If you can still find out, see if the PO also put in upgraded hub gears. I don't think Longfield warrants the birf if it is damaged due to a failed OEM hub gear.

I'm talking about these:
