As long as the gear ratio and tire diameter are the same you and run any combo of axles you want. I will just be running 3/4 ton wheels on the front, I will not have the dually wheels on the dana 44. My dually wheels are 16" and my 3/4 ton wheels are 16" as well so I will just buy the same tire and it will work.
I am running a Dana 44 because I can pick them up for about $100 where as a Dana 60 is about $500+ and I'm on a budget! At some point I might upgrade to a Dana 60, but I have seen 1 ton trucks with Dana 44's under them with just regular 3/4 ton wheels and I didn't think they looked bad.
