    Yup. You're looking at a 1500lb axle fully dressed though. You can get them down to around 1000 lbs if you de-brake them. I've seen a couple different brake setups that will help reduce the weight.

    What does a fully built D60 weigh?

    i have no clue, i bet if you had one fully trussed, brakes, all said and done, id think around 800-1000lbs, do you have any say in which gears come with it? or are they all standard. what 4:10s?

    Stock D60s (older ones) are about #550. I'd say newer D60s are alittle heavier maybe #650.

    Gear ratios available from 4.35 - 13.74. I'd have to ask the seller what ratio is in the axles he's selling.

    I don't know about the sets, but a hybrid axle with the 3rd members from those axles would be wonderful

    Cool thing with a heavy axle is that even though it's unsprung weight it's harder for your truck to pull them off the ground it lowers the change of a roll over.

    True. You'd definitely be planted.

    Here's a picture that puts these things in perspective.

    Those come in 17s. But, with the size of the axletechs those can't be 17s. So, I'd agree with 20s for sure.
