Ordering a DD clutch?

What do I need to specify when I order? Just that I need an 1 1/4" right? Is it a good idea to look into the upgraded shaft and what all does that involve doing?

And will my hydraulics be fine? They are new from dodge, just bought and installed when I did my trans swap 2 years/10k miles ago. Anything else I need to know about throwing this on my truck? Looking at the 3250dd SB, this one

And will that one be appropriate for me? Found this one and can't tell the difference...

Well all these questions should keep some of ya'll occupied for a while now....

there is no upgraded input shaft for the getrag, so you have to get it for an 1 1/4 shaft.

The 3250 should be fine with the stock stuff. The '89 has a SB 3600. We added a stainless braided hose, probably not 100% necessary until the 3850. From what I have heard, upgraded hydro's basically have the high pressure line.
IIRC the Sachs PP is rated at 2800 lbs.

Actually, the 12 button ones are pretty smooth.
