My old truck was a 81 blazer frame, I used a TH350/NP208 and the driveshaft angles weren't bad with 2.5 ton Rocks and about 22" of lift. If your gonna link it anyway,  clearance for your oil pan won't be an issue, but if you get too high your gonna need a drop case.  Which is an awesome investment, especially with quick change gears. I wish I would've bought an SCS years ago.   I know rockwells have great aftermarket support. I know F106's are strong too.  Don't know much about em though. I know a lot of the racers like em.  Grant Charlick would be a great guy to ask on axles, very knowledgable. I think with your setup and 14.9-24's, rocks  will hold up good and run good too.  Just know if you start upping the power and tire size you'll be putting money in your axles. Especially rear shafts.  I think you'll break a lot of parts with 1 tons and 14.9's. And you won't have as good of gearing.

I'm not even getting into the what's better thing.  That argument could go on  for days.  Lol. I guarantee you'll love the 4 link though.
