What are some axles that can swap for limited slip?
What are some axles that we can swap in to a 1994 dodge ram 1500 for limited slip? would a dana 44 work? I can get them pretty easy.

your options in the limited slip department are either Auburn or the Truetrac. Silver (a member on here) has the Auburn and really likes it. I have a buddy who has a Truetrac and he really likes it too. Bottom line, which every you choose between the two, you really can't go wrong. Just a heads up, this will get expensive because a shop will need to install this. Figure 400-500 for the limited slip, 100 for install kit, and somewhere around 300-400 for install. Your ballpark is going to be around $1000 by the time other misc items (maybe fluid etc.) and tax is all totaled up. This is the one reason I haven't done it yet

Trouble is, you can't just yank one from a yard, and stuff it in yours, and expect it to work. You still have to go thru the gear setup, which is where the big money for labor comes in. If you were going to go that route, yank the WHOLE axle, and swap 'em out. If your truck is four wheel drive, make sure the new rear has the same gear ratio as the front.
