Spot on, also the yota axles are considerably bigger and heavier so you loose some of the advantage when going with larger tires. Rob at ORA advised me to beef the standard axled and fit some HD half shafts and that should do the majority of offroading and up to 35"'s i think he said although don't quote me on that.
If its the ultimate your after the 70's are the way to go apparantly

I think the general opinion is that unless you want to run serious rubber(33"+?) there is little benefit for the work involved. You'd have to weigh up the cost of beefing up the zuk axles in terms of bracing the axle and the hd shafts compared to the cost/work of swapping to 'yota axles
