I would run GQ diffs, just because they are cheaper, and same stud pattern. They are also stronger, standard, than the D44 and 9" are standard, and you can sell the F truck diffs for more than the GQ diffs will cost you.

The Ftruck diffs will be 3.5 ratio, and GQ diffs will be 3.9 or 4.1. 3.9's are not sought after, so will be cheapest.
I sold my GQ diff pair for about $1000 a few years ago, they are cheaper now.
The 9" will get around $600- 800 on ebay, the D44 will also get good money, either here or ebay.

a Built set of Dana60 is what you should do man.

Look at the cost to purchase/built a set of GQ/GU diff's compared to a built set of Dana60's.
60's will be more up front but last longer and rarely if ever have a problem.

These new CalOffroad Axles are the more expensive than build D60 axles' and sure as hell NO WERE NEAR AS STRONG!

Do the D60's!

Tim AXLES not complete housing.
Read the Spec's on the built axles and how the and manufactured then ask Cal the same questions. see what you think but above is my Opinion.

That depends on what your starting with. If you need to buy the GQ diff then axles,CVs,Gears and a locker your better off in the long run buying a SOLID D60.
