If you are going to get dana 60s why not just go with the 8 lug full floaters?

Dana-Spicer made a dana 60-2 that was a semi-float type axle that was under some GM C-10 trucks in 68-70, probably 6 lug. I believe some chrysler cars also had semi-float dana 60s.

If your looking to strengthen your drivetrain you could upgrade your axle shafts with aftermarket units(front and rear) and increase your front axle u-joint from the 260x to 297x.

I am familir with Dynatrac, seems to be the best and does have hefty price tag but worth it in some instances. Is anyone familiar with Boyce Equipment?

According to their website they have a lot of experience with truck axles and seem cheaper than dynatrac.
