The VIN this came out of is from a 2011 Yukon Denali 1500 with a 6.2, 6l80, and 2wd. Says it had 152k miles 3.42 gears a posi and lived its entire life in south Florida which seems true as there's nearly no rust.

2500s are leaf out back
the "14b" is just a 9.5" SF light duty axle. They are pretty strong, nearly 7k GAWR, and they are of course from the AAM 9.xx family, so bearings, lockers, gears and covers interchange with a whole family of axles; both front and rear. So parts are cheap 👌🏻

yeah, i ran the math on 3.08s a while back... what gets you close to the original nv3500 starting ratios would make for a dog on the highway because 4th & 5th are the same.
granted, depending on whether you're talking blown/cammed 6.0 in a 5000lb truck or cam-only 6.0 in a 6000lb truck, it could make the difference in acceptable loss.
