It's easy to go to manual, that was the first thing I did on my Bronco II. I picked up some hubs off e-bay.

Are there really any mods for strengthening the 28? I know it doesn't have much to work with. Those u-joints are smaller than my driveline joints. I would think that if you start breaking that front end, it would be time to upgrade. I don't know what your skills are, but I bet you could throw a D44 under there with leaf springs pretty easily.

the dana 35 out of a exployer is a bolt on fit. Need a shorter drive line that is the only mod.
