zman thanks for the link. I think that somewhere around 1999 or 2000 dodge changed the control arms, cause looking the parts on rockauto they are the same for my year model, so if I would have got the axles from a truck around the same year model, i wouldnt have had as many issues. but what is life without its little hassles. I have everything bolted on and the only part left to do is the lower control arms and the drive shaft. plan on taking it by the drive shaft shop and have them shorten it two inches. so by next week end I should be done. Oh, the mounts for the dana 60 and 44 are all the same, double checked and from centerline of the axles they match, only difference is the bolt size for the control arms. the brake lines did not match at the caliper, but did at the frame mounts, they were about the easiest part to change out.
