The 9.25 rear-end was in most of the 4X4 dakota and durango's from 1998-2004 that came with the V8 or tow package. They are very stout, and do well with a detroit truetrac center section. The front end is, .....ok. But most of the tension goes to the rear anyway.

Yes, building up a 9.25 wouldn't be too hard. Swapping in a D60 probably wouldn't either. But that sorry D30(D35?) front diff has me worried. The transfer case out of the GM2500 trucks splits it 50/50. It isn't a viscous coupling transfer case it is a chain driven unit.

I'll be doing long tubes if anything. Another potential future option is to flip the stock manifolds and run a turbo. There's lots of room in there.
