I would think that t would turn out a lot like a Dana 44 swap with leafs. Check out some of the full width Dana 44 swaps, that should show you whats involved. For a little more Dana 60 info, check out this site for Full Size Broncos

This is the Dana 60 bible. It has ALL the information you would ever need about the dana 60(almost).

the only concern is the minimum width of the springs is gunna be 36-1/2 inches and im gunna have to do sme serious bracing on the hangers because the will stick about 5 inches outside of the frame.

find a 78-79 Ford HP Dana60, they have 32.5" leaf mounting width. that will stick off the frame very little.
