I guess you could use the Dana 60, but as far as a rear end, I know that you can swap an 8.8 out of a Ford Ranger (I think). If you get a rear out of certain FX4 Rangers they come with 31 spline axles and a Torsen L/S (Truetrac equivelent) from the factory. It would certainly be pretty stout without much work.

As far as a front diff, I am not sure. Others will chime in.

Old school people (I generally see it with muscle cars) still call all axles "rears" or "rear ends." It's confusing...but it is what it is.
