I stand corrected. I am not all the familiar with the Dana axles and just assumed a modern high strength steel was being used. Everything I could find alluded to either 1040 or one specific reference to the JL 44 cited 1050. Of course, both are plain carbon steels of .40 and .50 carbon respectively. I appologize for the indiscretion.

Now my dilemma is: the repair parts are about $100 and the new left and right axle assemblies are about $400. My JLUR is fundamentally stock and I don't plan on rock crawling or such. I'm not planning on installing substantially larger tires. I'm just not leaning toward the 4000 series chromoly axles.
