Ok guys, I have been looking around here and elsewhere online for a "how-to" on swapping out a Dana 50 to the Dana 60. These have not been difficult. But, while I will be swapping out the axles, I want to do the same to the suspension.

I love my old girl and do not want to even think a new truck. The problem is that I bought a few to many toys and I am not comfortable towing her at the max weight. If any of you could point me in the right direction to do this, I would much appreciate it.

 

You almost have to swap the suspension when you put in a Dana 60, or your truck will ride worse than it already does. Im sure almost every Dana 60 swap thread on this forum, or even the 4x4/Offroad forum covers it.

 

Look at the amature pics in my signature file thread. Keep searching as there are better pics and info put there. If you get stumped just ask, lots of us have felt our way through this.

 

^^^ follow his write up for the front

For the rear, the F250s came with 4 leafs or 5.......

If you have 5 then you are golden because that is the EXACT spring the F350 uses. All you need for the rear then is a 4" F350 block.

If you have the 4 leaf spring, get the 5 leaf and the 4" f350 block

 

You guys are awesome, thank you so much. I will take pics and upload them as I get going.
