I have a 70 eb, but have a reverse rotation 44 up front.
I am planing getting 38s but not sure if the drivetrain will take it. I now alot of people run them with stock axles, but will it work or break often. I am leaning towerds the 38x12.5 sx'.

it depends on driving style some people who have gone to 38's on ebs are not breaking any more than they did with 35's and some people are breaking constantly. It seems that the people with autos and or extra reduction boxes (cold duck, atlas, 203/d20 etc) have the best luck.
