Rumor has it that the rear rails on the pickups (most likely source for
better axles) are narrower, and the spring perches on the axles are
correspondingly narrower. Fronts should be the same as the '09. Costs for
axles separate can get expensive especially for stuff like FF 14's and Dana
60 fronts, best to buy the whole truck, the DRMS system has plenty of really
trashed 08's, etc., many of them have complete axles. Just note that the
wheels are 8 lug on these axles, and the pumpkins on the corporate 14 bolts
are really big, lowering ground clearance, and heavy too.
