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.

Thats exactly what I needed to do. Everything lined up great. I picked up a circle d triple disk from Kyle and now just need to install the shift kit so I can mount the trans. Looks like this project is gonna start picking up speed! I want to complete it by the end of June!!

Motor and tranny are in!! Now gonna start on the front and rear suspension. I'm thinking of 2/4 drop or maybe a 4/6. Not sure though. I'm doing 255-60-15 up front and 275-60-15 nitto's out back. Heres some pics to keep the thread going.
