I have a 1990 d60 front from an f350, can anyone tell me which spring plates to use to adapt it soa in a yj? I have seen this axles used, but can't find any info on it.

If you're a cheap bastid you could reuse the stock ones, or... try here: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/ford-d60-ubolt-plate-front-early-p-242.html

Now go play in the NEWB section... or preferably a busy highway.

HA! newbe!....Anyway....Buddy my question was for a late model d60 the link you posted was for early, and if i had the original plates i would use them.

So my question again is, (from someone who has a real answer) where do i get spring plates for a 90ish front 60?

couldn't you make your own?

i could make my own, yes, but i thought if there was a place that i could grab them for 20-30 bux that might be better. I did find them at the same place as above link. Never heard of that company. Thanks for the info

p.s. i did not mean perches.

I put a 1989 F350 Dana 60 front under my YJ.

I bought these from Foothill offroad.

I had to open up the holes for the big ubolt that goes over the right side of the cast perch.

The plates can fit 5/8" ubolts, which is what I used.

Worked great, good quality.
