What rear would be recommended for overall strength, performance a dana 60 or a sterling 10.5? Are there any pros and cons to each?
Thanks.

 

I like the fact I can pull the drums off my sterling without having to pull the hub I have both I just prefer the the sterling for that and the retaining nut configuration. That little locking wedge thing on my 85 dana 60 could be lost easily. As far as strength I don't know personally they seam kinda close. Some people complain about seal problems on the sterling but I had my dana give me fits trying to get it sealed up and none on the sterling.

 

The sterling hands down

 

10.25 is stronger and there no carrier spilts for the gears but parts are a lil more pricey
10.5 is a metric rear so if u want 8x6.5 u need 10.25
