The axles are a ok deal just to far to drive for us ga boys

[albert]

yep to far of a drive.

I think I'm going to get these, I just wanted to make sure the $$ sounded reasonable.

Ball joint 60 right?  Good price

You'll need to also go lift and big tires to clear those huge chunks over the rocks. 38's + to be like 33's on a 30/35/44 setup.

Still a daily driver?

Hey Richard,

I'm missing something.  How can you tell it's a king pin?  They made a lot of ball joint ford 60's in the 80's and 90's, and I don't see what year the axle is from.

If it IS a King Pin, don't go buy it.










































CALL ME!!!

[Trailabite]

Are there any markings on the axle to determine what year it is?

[ranger11]

Jimmy is right doug...


Chuck I think the kp were from 78 to late 80s. Year doest matter that is the axle you want.

There is a bill of material number (BOM) stamped on the axle tube:


You can use that number to find out what its from here:

It is a 85-91.5.  They are worth that much but it is going to be hard to fit coils in it.  The Diff on that axle is shifted 3 inches over on drives side for those years so to make it work in your jeep with coils, you are going to need to shorten the pass side.  There isn't much room less than three inches between the diff and the knuckle.  IF you don't shorten it, you are going to have alot more axle hanging out of the pass side.  Or you could just run coilovers haha
