I have a set of complete arizona axles w/3.73 and posi off a 90 burb that are going under my 88 K5. My factory gearing is 2.73, open diff, plus i have bad tie rods, ball joints and wheel bearings in my current 10 bolts. She shakes like a leaf at slow speeds. Plus my current brakes are in good shape. So its cheaper to replace the axles.

The axles have been sitting in a barn for a year or 2 so they need cleaned up. So while I have them sitting in my garage what all do I need to do? I figured they would need to be re-greased. Maybe wheel bearings? Going to pull both covers and fill her back up with some synthetic.

Thanks,
Jeremy
 
Sounds like a good plan and a good swap.

You may know this but you will now have 30 spline axles. Something to keep in mind if you ever have to replace a shaft or order a traction adder.
