oh ok, , you said axle, left and right output shaft came to mind.
I wouldn't go anything smaller than a Dana44, you'll need different rims if you pirate a Dana 44 from a Dodge. I think the wheel lug pattern is 5 on 5 or 5 on 4.75. Might as well get a Dana fro the rear too! Or a beefy Dana 60.

If your swapping to a solid axle your also going to need to fabricate crossmembers or a place to mount your springs/shocks/ whatever suspension you are going with.
