With the right bump stops and wheel back spacing, sure.  I recommend 3.75" backspacing if you use a 15X10 rim.  However, I would highly recommend putting chromoly shafts in the dana 30 if you plan on putting that Aussie in it and 36's.

def beef the shafts. iroks have a lot of traction/grip. often, too much (traction) for axles of the housings if you're running stock.

I'm good in the back, but stock in the front still.

I'm pretty sure that the stock D30 is good up to 37's, but I would definately upgrade the shafts before trying bigger than 33's.
