Question, is the Chevy & Dodge DANA 60 front axles the same? If not what are the major differences?

They are very very similar, and they are close enough that one will swap in place of another. The spring perch distance is maybe 1/2 inch narrower on the Dodge, but the springs flex enough to bolt it up fine. The Dodge axle overall is a little narrower than the Chevy (concerning WMS to WMS). The steering arms are a little different.
