Quite some time ago, Jps4Jeep said that a beat 73-87 chevy 1-ton pickup would be a good buy to upgrade axles.

Since there seems to be an abundance of these and the tranny also sounds nice, I have a couple questions:
1. Gearing. Should I be concerned about the gearing in them or are they all going to be the same? What gearing do they have? I'd like to be around 3.73 - 4.10.
2. Strength. The plan is a 4" lift with 34" tires. The D60 / 14bolt should handle that, right?
3. Locked. Way in the future, I think locking the axles would be a good idea. Any issue with that on these axles?
4. Unimformed. Anything I'm missing or should also consider while I'm thinking of doing this?
Thanks as always,
