well everyone asked for them, and now ive got them. i ordered 2 sets from duff, and they were supposed to fit a dana 44 axle tube, but when i pulled them out of the box, and put them on, what did you know a perfect fit. i dont know what the deal is. they said they were for a dana 44, and i told them i needed tem for a 60, and so im not complaining. im pretty happy. i can get part numbers and pictures. it will take me 4 days or so becuase i left my camers with my rig, and thats about an hour away.

Yeah, that is kind of confusing. You would expect they would fit the D60 right from the box but that is NOT the case. You need to do some grinding or machining to make them work.:D

no what i mean is they were supposed to fit the dana 44 tubes, but they are made to fit the 60 tubes. i didnt have to do any grinding to make them fit. they are all ready to go.

they look like they fit a dana 60 tube, but you either have to machine them, or make up 1/2" spacer plates to put between the radius arm and the radius arm cap. the contour on them fits the dana 60 tube, but because of the larger diameter of the dana 60 tube the two wedges wind up a half inch further apart. When I used the duff pieces to put my dana 60 in last month I saw their fit on the tube, and decided to make the spacers, as it was a much easier way than grinding the c-bushings each out 1/4". If you also decide to make spacers, you will have to weld up the forward bolt hole in the spring cup and retainer, and redrill them 1/2" further forward, so that they will line up with the radius arm cap's hole, which shifts forward 1/2" due to the spacer.
Shoot man, get thoes part numbers! Ive been working on a 4link for my 60, but his will cut my time and parts cost in half! :smokin:
