To get you started in the right direction, ask yourself these questions: what type of wheeling do you do (weekend wheeler/dd, trail truck, DD with occasional wheeling trip, light or hard wheeling, and where you wheel), what size tire do you plan to run, is there a chance you will ever go up in size, what engine will you be running, again, will you ever go up in size. Each of these questions will change both the axle type and suspension type. As stated, this is probably the #1 site for having the most sas'd rbv's on the planet (yeah, including pirate) and this question gets asked at least twice a week, so please excuse the rudeness of our first posts, but also try to understand, the same generic question gets old quick. Like previously stated, look at some other threads, not just in extreme suspension, but also in under construction offroad section, and I'm sure most of your questions will already be answered. The key to any project, big or small, engine, suspension, or axles, is research. We will be glad to help you once you get the basics
