I got a Dana 70U axle that needs to be re-geared it's stock right now, question, will 456 gears work on the carrier? I've heard stories that you need a different carrier. Is this true?
Mike-

depends what gears are in there now ?

I think it's 410 that are in there.

then you should be ok, below a 410 requires a different carrier 410 and up take the same

Thanks Hendo.

actually, the carrier break is 4.10/4.56, so youll need a new carrier for your 4.56s unfortunately.

Ok now I'm hearing 2 different stories. Where can I find some info confirming this? Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure what my offset is though.
But good info. Oh well gues I will get a full locker.

if you have a 70U, it has 5/8" offset. im running the same axle....
