disconnect it from the cv axles and drop it be much easier to work on

Relays for fans, no2, gauges, and ic pump.
2.5" flanges, and awesome 15 foot of heat shrink to clean up hoses and wires

Get the 1541H axles. Your stockers are pretty strong, but they are a nice upgrade. Also check with Randy ' s ring & pinion for the crush sleeve eliminator kit. It will actually have a better torque load rating plus makes the install much easier. It will also handle the extra power from your charger. If done properly, you'll never have to open up your axles again.

If I drop both and bring them, I can save some money

Ya, I sent him that link earlier today. I want a bulletproof rear axle. He suggested to avoid the crush sleeve eliminator though

Yukon or g2 axles ?

Yukon. & $800 is exactly what I was going to pay for both axles. The more I dig into it, the more I think I'll do it myself though. I rebuilt a Dana 60 & 44 with my Dad in my teens on my old Jeep truck. Wasn't too bad, but time consuming. Only need a couple specialty tools and know how to take measurements.

Too easy. Zip them right out with a air compressor impact. U-bolts shocks disconnect abs and park brake. Go a lot faster impact though. But doable with wrenches too. The front disconnects from cv's and the top is bolted to the crossbrace if I remember right.. And lube the rear driveshaft while its out. The yoke that slides into trans.

I have zero experience so I think I'll not try lol. Atleast you have some success under your belt

Ya, I can do that no problem. Break in the new Lithium Milwaukee Fuel impact I got. I am allowing a month to do the swap and gear change before I move...hmm
