Default Axles please help

OK i know people on here like battling about axles and all that but im looking to do a solid axle swap to my dodge dakota 4x4 03 now i seen dana 35 axles and a dana 30 that i really can't pass up for only 100 buck i dont mud all the time but i do it occasionally i just want to know if this will all work together here is what im getting to get my self started
dana 300 transfer case
dana 30 front axle
dana 35 raear axle
along with the drive shafts and i could keep working from there but before i get home from out of state and get this stuff i want to know if it will work i want this truck to be lifted higher it sits to low for me now and it bugs me it would be a show truck as long as a toy i just want to know if it will all go together and work i know i run into porbs here and there but these parts are easy to find and right now the price is hard to beat i got a mechanical background with the government but sus is not a strong point with me thank for the info

I'm not sure the Dana 300 will be an easy bolt in.

The Dana 30, and 35 are relatively weak. You want to go bigger. Minimum a Dana 44 for both. Anything bigger will be good.

i agree 100%. You would spend as much money making those as strong as a stock D44.

and please, please use things like a period when writing! run-ons make my brain hurt.

Don't forget the diff has to be on the driver side if using the stock transfercase, which can handle it.
