One of the biggest differences is the Dana 60 solid front axle... I do also think they have bigger springs but I'm not sure.

Wow! She's a beaut! Get some paint on her and show her off. Better yet, DON'T paint her and make it a sleeper, kill the ricers at the read lights Either way would be awesome
