chopped444 08-20-2005, 08:41 PM just read the dana 60 bible lots and lots of info but still didnt find what i'm looking for. i am doing a sas on my 91 ranger and would like to use a 60 front in stead of a 44 so i'm wondering what years if any had 60's with radius arm set-ups? as far as i know non correct? broncobuster37 08-20-2005, 08:45 PM I don't believe there were any the leaf spring mounts have an almost equivalent ability.

No Dana 60 came with radius arm brackets. You'll want a 77.5-79 as the short tube is longer, and thus easier to fit the bracket on. However I've seen the bracket placed on a 88-92 axle. chopped444 08-20-2005, 09:12 PM yeahi thought i was outa luck. so mr.N are u saying to chop off the bracks from a 44 and re weld them on to a 60? 4x4junkie 08-20-2005, 09:36 PM No Dana 60 came with radius arm brackets. 2005 has radius arms ;) You probably wouldn't want its shitty unit-bearing hubs though. Mr.N 08-21-2005, 02:01 PM 2005 has radius arms ;) You probably wouldn't want its shitty unit-bearing hubs though. You got me. Guess I was thinking axles found in a JY. Yes, lots of EB houses sell new mounts. Heck I had a set for 1 year, and couldn't give them away from shipping cost.

They are kinda hard to find sometimes. I have an extra set. PM me if you are interested. full foot notch 08-21-2005, 02:16 PM also look for answers on rangerstation.com and explorerforum.com , i have a 92 explorer 2dr thats gettin a D60 front, leaf sprung, if i remember, to get it to fit nicely, ya gotta take 6-7 inches out of the passenger tube Exploder 92 08-21-2005, 03:59 PM Just put some leafs under it! :) http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d630b3127cce93352548906300000016108QYtG7Nu0cg full foot notch 08-21-2005, 04:41 PM man that ex of yours is mighty small http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/Image121.jpg jk, nice rock explorer chopped444 08-21-2005, 05:15 PM yeah i have thought about going leafs up front but the amount of flex u get from a wristed arm is far more them leafs. thanks for the help guys i guess i'll just got full width 44 and beaf it up Lars915 08-21-2005, 07:07 PM yeah i have thought about going leafs up front but the amount of flex u get from a wristed arm is far more them leafs.
