2500 had the 241HD T/Case, (i am not sure if it has a larger/different output shaft for the t/c the 1500 uses, something to check.) so, might wanna grab that as well, and the driveshaft. 2500 axles are eight lug, so, wheels will also be necessary. If you have a 4x4, you will need to make sure your gear ratio's match, or, grab the front axle/driveshaft as well
