Would this axle be something that I could use on my truck to swap out the d44 with this?

What all else would I have to do to get the axle to work with the spring set-up I have now? And does $750 sound like a decent price for that axle?

Whats the specs on it?

 

if its complete 750 is a good price

 

its probably a ball joint 60, which is still plenty strong

 

it wont work with your current spring setup. You need to change the spring mounting points. That axle has a 36" spring mounting width compared to your waggy spring mounting width of 32". And a 93 axle is a Balljoint D60 compared to 91 and older are Kingpin setup. The only Ford D60's that would fit your mounting width are 78-79 F250 and F350 Dana 60's. (F250's with the Dana 60 were Crewcab trucks and Snowfighter packages. F350 is only 79 cause there was no 4x4 F350 in 78.)

 

Damn, oh well. I saw it on craigslist in Atlanta, just thought I'd ask. :)

if you didnt live so far away I could sell you my 79 F350 D60 which would work.

 

also its full width and your 8.8 isnt..so y ou would be stickin way out in the front and rear would be narrower..

 

Im sure he would be changing the rear, also.

 

Tha'd be nice.

And yes, I would swap out the rear one as well. Duh Evan! You should of had a V8.

ive got that sterling 10.50 in my garage...came out of an 01 superduty..

 

Too bad its got the metric bolt pattern.

 

yea its like 8 on 170mm or some crap like that..my goal is to get a matching D60 from the same year SD or close to it so they match..

 

most super dutys have dana 50s but still plenty strong trust me iv tested mine a few times

 

super duty front axles, epecially the D50...yuck. non serviceable wheel bearings, dana 44 size diff, weird axle.

 

ya but the weight of a ranger would probly never wear out wheel bearings or break any internals on a dana 50. i know it could happen with the right jack hole behind the wheel but its gonna take alot

 

im lookin for an front D60 from a new superduty to match my rear...i got the rear for free my buddy works on the F-Series trucks alot..so im just waiting for one to come abouts..almost had one a few weeks ago but fell through...

im in no rush so waiting for parts to come to me isnt bad..

 

me personally, i ould sell the rear axle and get a 60/10.5or10.25 from a 98 and older truck

 

whys that..

what do the 98 and older D60 and 10.50/10.25 have that the 01+ dont..

 

^--

 

Better choice of wheels as any 8x6.5 wheel will fit (16" and larger)
Serviceable Wheelbearings, Huge aftermarket.

 

i dont need to worry bout it, i have a king pin D60 in my F-350 nananana.

finding wheels for the 8 on 6 1/2 is getting harder and harder but the serviceable wheel bearings, real hubs, etc...is worth it. they do offer conversion kits but they are like $2,000

 

i agree 8on6.5 is getting harder to find but they are out there.

 

ill be changing lugs anyways to run my 22.5s (: mwaaahhhhhhahahaa

 

i got some 425 tires when you go convert ill sell em for $150 each they stand like 44 or 46" tall and there like 18" wide the size is actually like 425 75 22.5
