I know very little about these axles, would this be a good candidate for my YJ? THNX in advance...

"I have a Dana 60-2 with posi and 354 gearing. It is an 8 bolt lug pattern. Fits full size Chev, Ford, or Dodge rims. Its an awesome heavy duty rear axle with huge axle shafts (basically Dana 70s) The pinion is centered. A disk brake conversion can be done on this as well."

Everything is worth buying for the right price.

Thanks MO...lol

I guess what I am asking is, are there different kinds of Dana 60's and would this be one of the good ones?

Have you tried the Search feature? It works... honest.

According to 66CJDean, someone I believe to know his shiznit, the 60-2 is a 5 on 5.5 semifloating 60. Pretty desirable to some.

Afaik the 60-2 is a semifloating, 35 spline rear dana 60 with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. I believe it has 2.75" dia. tubes and they are thin wall. In a nutshell: stout axleshafts with a slightly weaker than normal housing. .5 ton ford, jeep, scout bolt pattern.

60-2 just means a semifloating D60 - has nothing to do with lug pattern or the number of splines on the axles. Besides, he said it was 8 lug.

I have a 60-2 from an 80 Ford F250, it has 35 spline c-clip axles and 3" tubes. But some applications have 30 spline axles, some don't have c-clips, etc. Best way to tell is to open it up.

There are some 8 lug semi-floating dana 60axles out there. most are 30 spline. Came in some light duty Ford 3/4 ton 2 wheel drives 1980-1986. Some internationals had the 35 spline.
