2 wheel drive 6 lug light duty ( 7200 lb GVW) 2500 rear diffs are probably way easier to find and are cheaper for sure. Just redrill your axles for 5 lug as aftermarket or OEM 5 lug 9.5" 14 bolt shafts are not available.

If you will cut out or flatten the raised up section in the middle of the cups they will fit better onto the adapter plates.
