Thanks, I'm happy with how it turned out.
I picked up a new axle a Dana 80 dually posi with 3:54 gears out of a second gen 3500. The dana 80 is 72.75 hub to hub and the stock axle is around 63 hub to hub. I will need to move the Spring Perchs and shock mounts. The axle had new bearings seals, and brake pads but one seal was leaking really bad and runed the pads. After pulling it apart it looks like the breather was clogged. But there is some wear on the axle where the seal sits, so I will be installing a set of speedi-sleeve 99296.

when I removed the drive shaft I found that one of the nuts were missing it looks like it was missing for a while.

The overload spacers I don't know if they were aluminum or magnesium.
