that is not a 100% correct, drw is dualy but their is 2 versions. one is actualy narrower between the backing plates and can only be used with 1t frame spring mounts, there is not enough room between the b/p for the springs. the other is from heavy box vans and long flat beds and is the wider. the van one is ideal but very rare.
the sf 14b is acutauly a really strong rear, it even has slightly larger shafts than the 14bff, but it is a semi float and it has a weaker diff with a smaller ring gear. it does not have a carrier split and a easy locker upgrade is a h2 electric.
"So I gotta watch out which rear I'm looking for? - which carrier do I want the one with 4.11 or higher (numerically lower) as it will accept gears in the 3.xx Range??? (I.E. not one out of a 1ton truck)"
you want a axle from a 3/4t or a srw 1t.
you want the 3.73 carrier.
their are NO mid 3's it 3.73 and thats it.
if you want faster gears look for a d60 or d70 ff as they can have as fast as 2.73%
