At this point, I can not advise on what rear axle to use. That takes a lot of research, measuring and availability. I can tell you this, the drive train needs to be geared so your cruise RPM's are 1900 to 2100. Thats the sweet spot. There are a lot of calculators on the web for figuring RPM with different transmissions/differentials and tires. You need to use them to determine what is best.
One of the better calculators I have used is at Randys Ring and Pinion site. www.ring-pinion.com

May I suggest that you have a lot of research to be done before you start mounting anything. Time spent in research can save you $1000's of dollars.
