BIG AXLES

[Daniel]

A rear 60 is about 150 in the Jy they are not hard to find ,a 14b cost the same. Its the front that cost so much ask me how I know. {popcorn}

How do you know, Richard?

[Jimmy]

Richard called him and said its 5x5.5 bolt pattern out of a 1500, I don't think its a 60.

HAHAHA {hihi}

[Jimmy]

I guess the kid just didn't know what he had since they look pretty much the same aside from the 60 housing being a hair bigger.

wht????

[ADAM]

Will a 89 F350 front dana 60 work?

and

how strong is a 10.25 sterling rear?

[Jimmy]

I think those are the years with the REALLY narrow driver side axle tube.

Sterling is strong, but parts aren't as common (ie cheap) as for 60s, 70s and 14 bolts.

What Jimmy said, but if you are going coil overs up front I don't think you will have many issues.

[ADAM]

either coil overs or air shocks.

the pinion is fine though right?

[Jimmy]

I believe they are high pinion if thats what you're asking.

[ADAM]

no i should have been more specific

The pinion center line to knuckle center line is about 3.5" more to drivers side than 78-79.
Will this affect how it bolts up to the transfer case?

[Alex]

No it will not be a problem.  there are a few people on pirates that are using them.  As long as you are not going to use coils, you should be fine
