Dana 60 interchangeability

Pickup is a 1999 F250 with a front dana 50 that keeps breaking. Plan is to swap in a dana 60. What year axles are a bolt-in swap? What else needs to be swapped to make it work? Brake calipers the same? Sway bars the same? Leaf springs the same? Any carrier break? Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.
- Joe

Okay, gonna be honest here. I have a 2002 F-250 5.4L 4WD CCLB and I'm not sure of my axle size. I've got marking on the Pumpkin that say DANA and the Stamped metal identifier on Pumpkin. How do I know? Where is the gear ratio notification on this axle?

Gear ratio is on that tag. Looks like 3.73. Axle model is likely stamped near where your driveshaft connects.
