Default Dana 70's for Dak

Will this axle fit my 98 dakota? How will it effect winter driving compared to the original rear?
Offer I read:
"I have two Dana 70 axles for sale. Both are rears, one is out of a DRW '79 Ford Van the other is out of a SRW '90 Dodge Pickup. Both are 4.10 gears.

$400 for the pair or $250 each"

massive axles. really, you wont need axles that beefy unless your're running gobs of horsepower on a heavy trail rig

nope, no need d70's are pretty big.. but really you can make most of them fit. Also depends on Limited slip or open end.

anything will fit.. but in regards to being easy and worth it... not so sure, do you off road that much to where you need something that beefy?
