newer JL axles are thicker than the JK's should hold up a bit better

Your math is faulty because you forgot to account for the Unlimited(U) variable

Since unlimited appears on both sides of the JK/JL equation that term cancels out.

EDIT: The following is for the Rubicon
Same thickness, larger radius. Thickness increases almost linearly.
Tube strength goes up as the fourth power with diameter , and it is called Moment of Inertia, or Inertial Stiffness. JL vs JK:

3.14159265 × (D4 - d4) ÷ 64
(70^4 - 63.65^4) ÷ (62.5^4 - 56.15^4) × 100% = +43% stiffer (JL axle)
