What is wrong with the axle? If it is just the gears I would suggest an aftermarket heavy duty ring and pinion. It will be a lot cheaper to build a very heavy duty axle than buy another axle and install it, especially if you have to take it to a garage.

rear axle
no its the carrier and bearings and i talked to randys and they said the stock replacement is the best you can do at the moment and i think it is not strong enough to hold up they dodge dealer that looked at says he has seen quite a few that gave up completly and the carrier is not servicable

I've heard of guys using a rear end off of a F-550 to boost weight carrying capacity and I saw Kelderman's use a sterling axle on their "big red" truck but both of those use 19.5 to 22.5 wheels. ks
