Normally, a "dualie" (sp.) REAR axle should be the same as a SRW. A dualie FRONT axle will be different, it will have ~3" spacer to properly mount a wheel with extreme offset. With a Dana 70, one should be able to run a 38-44" tire (9.00R16 to 14.5R20) without fear of breakage. A Dana 60 is what matches for the front. Be careful about Dana 60s; some of the older ones have 1.31" shafts in the spline area, mostly coarse splines. The newer ones with fine splines (35 spline is best) are 1.50". The strength of an axle goes up as the cube of the diameter. Dana 70s are 1.50".
