In my opinion, only if you want an ARB or other selectable locker. For the money you will spend making a 60 rear as tough , you may as well go with the 14 bolt full floater.
The 60 is a nice axle but I have friends who can break them at will in stock form.
Hope that helps.

I've got a dana 60ff for the rear of my 83 although it's not in yet I'm going to just be running 35's maybe 37's, And I've been told that I should be fine, The guy I bought the 60 from was running 39in swampers and he did brake some axels and now has gone to a 14b.

With a Dana 60, you get about the same housing and axle bearing strength as the 14FF. It has a smaller ring gear, but improved ground clearance. It does have a smaller axle diameter though... 1.31" vs. 1.5" on the 14FF.
A D60 should hold up to those tires. Usually the ARB is the reason people use the Dana. 14FF's are often so cheap (and are a bolt-in) that isn't not worth the cost/effort to move spring perches on the D60.
