ok sounds good and yes i will be looking for each part specifically if i can take the axles from one truck i will but if not no biggie. i have been researching the D60-D80 combo and it is looking like the desirable setup for me. both axles are very strong and have lots of aftermarket support. it looks like they come in the 3.54:1 ratio which i think will also work fine for what i want to do but if not i can always switch out the gearing.
what i meant by " which side drop does it have" is which side is the differential on. driver or passenger. which side would i need my T-case to drop to?
Also i believe i have aproblem with my build plan but i am not sure. i always wikipedia all the parts i want to use for their specs and such and i found that the 6.6L LB7 puts out 520 ft-lbs and the ZF S6-650 is rated to handle a max of 520 ft-lbs. to me this sounds like i need to find a different six speed transmission that is made for more torque. However, the manufacturer used the 6.6l duramax with ZF S6-650 configuration from 2001 to 2006 i guess there just must be something i am not understanding here.
thanks
