13 bolt its the only way to go:D shaved down you will have more clearance under the 14 bolt than the 60. ill get a measurment for yah if you must have one:flipoff2:

does anyone know the ground clearance of a dana 60 with 35s or 37s?

60 is about 6 in from center tube to bottom 14 bolt is about an inch more give or take.

x2...35s are way to small for a 14bolt or a 60 front for that matter...even one that has been shave IMHO!!!

I'm still running this setup, but only because I have too much wrapped up in it. If I were to do it again, I'd use a built up 9" or something like that

Awesome. Tugs are cool man. Tons of power. I'm a subsea engineer for deepwater gulf of mexico.
yeah, it'll take some triming i'm sure, but that is exactly the suspension i am looking into now.

I know this is old, but I'm going to ask.
How does Ballistic Fabs 14b shave kit compare to a D60 in ground clearance? It claims to give 2" more clearance over an unshaved 14b. Think that would be enough to squeeze by with 37s? That would be like running a 41" tire with no shave.
