Depends on how the axle is designed. Full Float axles don't rely on the axle shaft to keep the wheel on, so in that case you can totally keep it. Also, axles with brake discs rather then rotors will also generally be able to drive out with a broken axle shaft, since the brake caliper captures the axle too. So its not cut and dried.
Will you put a one time load of 6000 pounds on the axle......doubtful. Will you put much smaller but more repetitive, not to mention shock loading? Probably, depending on your use of the skinny pedal (so in other words, Keith, you would almost certainly do it if the snow run was any indication).
For $100 or so difference, I'd go with the ARB. That said, they have their issues and I've seen a lot of people have problems. The lock ring shims and such move around and break as well, and air lines and such pull out. Personally I like an E-locker style selectible personally, but thats just me.

Zip locker?
. But lift and tires are not one of them because i got the lift like 3 months ago and tires have less than 1k on them
