"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 
Some other unrelated part of the 10-bolt will break before the axle-tube-to-pumpkin connection becomes an issue. On another note, adding a TA girdle cover can help strengthen things a bit as well as help with lubrication dispersion/cooling.

Thats about the most you can do to the rear end. You could weld the axle tubes and get moser axles but it would be pointless so long as you have the stock sized gears.
