Dana 60s are stronger than Dana 44s and you can gear them to your hearts kintent.

Dana 60's are stronger than a Dana 44 but you're gaining a lot more unsprung weight and loosing ground clearance to install one up front. I'd stay with the Toyota axle and beef up the birfields. Their closed knuckle king pin design is superior to the open knuckle ball joint system.

If money isn't an object - have a custom Ford 9" high pinion front axle built using whatever knuckle system you desire. Also build a standard 9" with Dana 60 full floating spindles, hubs, disc brakes, and custom axles for the rear.

For those with small piggy banks, just up grade the stock Toyota axles with better OEM or aftermarket parts.
