Swapping a 1/2 ton axle for another 1/2 ton axle is a waste...
I'd definitely go for D60/70 out of a 98-02 2500. Fairly simple swap (with a good amount of build threads and DIYs out there) and you won't have to worry about breaking shafts or things of that nature.

What is it you want then? a 60/70 will be a good setup for the trails and the road. If it's just your daily and you aren't gonna wheel it too hard the stock axles will be fine with 35's. Theres not really anything in between what you have and what we suggested, especially considering the ease of install using axles out of another 2nd gen.
