I'm very familiar with it, on a truck of this size, the only unsprung weight that really makes any effect is the wheels/tires. A Dana 60 and a Dana 44 are not that different in weight with respects to the front axle, and the Corporate 14 rear axle may be considerably heavier, but the braking characteristics are affected in the most miniscule ways because the braking systems and vehicle dynamics/characteristics are not great enough on a vehicle of this size! Heavier axles on these trucks will not increase washboarding or wheelhop! The link you provided really only applies on sports cars, in my opinion anyway!
