The inner axle will have to be for the dana 44, but the outer can come from a dana 44 or a ten bolt.

correct statement... I found this out when I did my swap... If you have other axles then you could also just swap the entire axle, really just depends on how good the compenents are (brakes, gears, u-joints etc..)
