Axle swap

[86k5owner]

What would be the top 2 axle swaps for my 86 K-5 for durability

Dana 60 front & a 14 bolt rear. Easiest & most common.

Dynatrac Pro 80's. After a nuclear war, these and cockroaches will be the only thing left behind. Very pricey though.
I'd personally go with Dana 60's front and rear. The Dana 60 is about 60lbs lighter than the 14 bolt, has more ground clearance, and has a better selection of lockers. Unless your going to be running 400+ hp and 40" boggers you'll be hard pressed to break one.
