Would it be a good idea to replace my Dana 30 axle shafts with chromoly?

When I installed my powertrax no slip locker I ended up doing inner axle seals, u joints, ball joints, wheel bearing hubs, and a ZJ tie rod....”since I have it all apart/while I’m in there”
Smart man. My ball joints seem to be in excellent shape. They probably are not to expensive. Maybe I should.
 
Where the ( unit bearing/wheel bearing assembley) slides up into the yoke, Do I put copper anitsieze or grease around the inside ring of the yoke?? thanks
 
Dorman has them.
mrblaine, the donut in one of my calipers has a chip missing out of it. It is not leaking, Do I need to replace the roter? Thanks
Dorman has them.

last question of the evening , i hope. where the unit bearing goes inside the yoak, do you use grease or copper antiseize inside the ring ??
 
After cleaning the bore of the steering knuckle, I typically use antiseize before installing the unit bearing.

just a little follow up , I finnished the project. new axles are in and the jeep is rolling great. Ill go back and make sure all the bolt are torqued properly AGAIN . after 25 to 50 miles. I did not install any outter tube seals but i did swap the dust covers from the old axle to the new ones. The tube seal are still under review. Im glad i did the project , because I really learned a lot and I know it was doen properly. ANd yes i read every direction I could . if you have any question please ask away. thanks for your help !!
