HOWEVER, 72longhorn while I hear you on the axle swap... I'd have to rebuild the entire gear setup as the dodge dana 60 has 353's(I believe) and my build will have 410 gears. Not to mention the added time and fabbing required to get rid of the coil overs and revert to the leaf springs... TOO MUCH for my taste.

True on the 29 spline issue. The Allison trans uses a 29 spline as well behind the Duramaxs so it is plenty strong.
I hear you on the whole coil to leaf conversion on the axles.
Now I will say my knowledge on trucks has not extended down to the axles so would it not be possible to just take your ring gear and pinion gear out of the GM Dana 60 and bolt them into the Dodge Dana 60?
