That is a great price and will
Be stronger than your ten bolts. Better brakes as well. Will just need new rims to fit your tires you have now. The rear 14bff is bulletproof. You can use the front 3/4 until a good front 60 comes along. It will still have bigger brakes. The internals are basically the same but thicker axle tubes on the 3/4 ton front.

AND, if you can find some 15" 8 lug rims(that is if your running 15" beads and care to keep using them) can grind down the front calipers to fit.
Guess I'm not sure what you are looking for then???? I can't see the pictures but assume the rear is a 14-bolt full-floater. This is by far the best choice for a rear axle swap....you can't get any stronger and will never say down the road "I wish I would have gone bigger".... This axle is way stronger than the factory 10-bolts. Not a whole lot of other options for rear axles. You can get a 14-bolt semi-floater which is about half way in between the factory 10-bolt and 14 full floater. Good axle but if you ever went with big tires and/or engine it may not hold up.
For the front axle there is no in between the factory 10-bolt or Dana 44 and the 1-ton Dana 60. If you went with the 14FF rear it would be 8-lug. The Dana 44 (again, assuming it is 8-lug) could be swapped in to give you a matching 8-lug front axle and matching gear ratio to the rear (again, again....assuming the 14FF and Dana 44 were matching axles).

Surely by now this set of axles has been obtained by someone if not the OP?

Just checked and they are still for sale. It’s out in the middle of nowhere. I’m going to get a hold of the guy and see if I can get them this weekend.

The force is strong within you. Lol. They will be a good setup if you don’t go over 37s. 35s are better but with cautious driving a front 3/4 ton can last.
