If you can find a set of axles out of a 00-01 dodge "off-road" edition, they are the top of the line 1/2 ton axles for the trucks!

They have factory 4.10 gears front and rear, the front has extra gussets surrounding the front diff for more strength as well as dual piston calipers, the rear should have a factory locker too!
