If I get tons it'll probably be around 6 months minimum before they went under my rig. I'd fully re-build both, and do 35 spline axles, along with gears and lockers. I don't do stuff halfway.

Go with the 14bff, my son ran Dana 60s on the rear of his 4Runner and broke them 3 times in about 6 years. He has been running the 14 for 4 years and no broken ring gears, or axles, or lockers, or bent tubes. If you are going to be going serious enough to go to Dana 60s go all the way.

All those axles are WAY overkill for 37s. Especially the rocks. 60s built the way I'll build them will be MORE than strong enough for what I need as well as having the clearance of a 44/9"(shaved housings anyone?)
