Easiest front 60 in an Early Bronco - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Well, what dana 60 front would be the easiest to put on my EB? kingpin or balljoint? a 79 or earlier because of the extra room on the driver side for the coils? Would it just be welding new wedges for the arms, mounting radius arms, coils, and shocks, larger bump stops, and what else? I'm changing to about 4.5 inch lift at the same time, and moving up to 42s.
Thanks for helping a newbie!!

I used a '79 Ford Dana 60 in mine and it just gives barly enough room for my 4 link and coilover mounts.

If you are going to narrow it you should take some off the passenger side and it will move the pumpkin over and give you more room on the drivers side. You might want to do a 3 or 4 link if you are swapping axles anyway. it wouldn't be much more work.
