Are you on a DTD already or is that the long term plan?
The DTD definitely has the cool factor, but as Eddie has mentioned more than once, it's benefit is not realized unless you are bombing the desert. Not that the 1480 wouldn't hold up, but do you need the DTD living in North Richland Hills vs. out west and have you considered an Evo Pro coilover long arm and getting the axle you need? I don't have a dog in this fight. Just trying to lend some experience from my past mistakes.
No doubt a bad add setup. Good luck with your project and let us know how it goes. I'm saving for a similar axle configuration.
Ordering on friday but had one more follow-up question.
Its been suggested to order clear tubes with no brackets due to Dynatrac using 3/16" brackets vs. a more HD 1/4" bracket. Also mentioned was that I could have more control over the placement up front vs. having to adjust where dynatrac puts the brackets.
My gut says go with Dynatrac brackets. Thoughts?
What suspension system do you have?

Did you order the axle yet?
Badass! Looks sweet, just run those wheels and tires lol. What wheel/tire combo you going to go with now?It arrived!
Picked the axle up on Friday and uncrated it on Saturday. First words that came to me was "damn this thing is massive"!
Final build was..
XD60 w/ 1480 outers
8x6.5
5.38
ARB
Stubby hub kit
Extreme .31 tubing upgrade
Prosteer Balljoints
Big Brake kit
Chromoly 4340 inners and outers
The only thing that I've noticed is that my trailready beadlocks do not just slide on very easily, not sure why but going to try again with another one of my wheels.
