What size tires are you going to run? If 33-35" I'd go super35 or Dana 44.
If smaller then the spider gear upgrade mentioned by macho should be fine(as well as the 4.10 gear choice)

That was in Tennessee sir!!
Is there a difference? People think VA and WVA are the same. I try to explain that WVA people have 20 less teeth.
Your profile doesn't show where you are located. I have a spare Dana 44 housing laying in my shop.
Thank you for all the replies sorry I cannot add emojis to the thread but I enjoyed the comments..
Actually the underside is in good shape, but the control arms I agree look rough. This is going to be more of a commuter vehicle for awhile so we might just put it back to stock despite the agreed consensus to beef it up a little, I totally see the benefits.
@macleanflood thanks for the tips on the super.
@Rickyd yeah, sorry....I'm in VA. I appreciate the offer.

Black?? What did I win
Late reply, I was going to get the Yukon gearset from ECGS, after going back and forth but the 4:10 is backordered. So will get the Revolution most likely, and might even do all the internals from the same vendor instead of splitting it up....R&P + rebuild kit with all bearings.
Any goto vendors?

When my Dana 35 grenaded, I replaced with a Dana 44 and had both diffs regeared to 4:10 (or 4:11?). I think they were Yukons. Can't remember now. One thing to note is that I had to have my rear driveshaft shortened by like 0.75".
Drum brakes, brake lines, and vent tube all lined up the same for me, so no concern there. From what I remember, the Dana 44 came from a 2001 and mine is a 2005.
