Look at 5796 in this 2WD pic. Notice the u-bolts go thru it from the bottom to the top.
The u-bolts lay on top of 5348, then pass thru 5A316 perch below the axle tube.

Yes ND and we are talking about a front axle, You know brian you can use the rear pt# 5796, just have to address a adjustable steering link arm clearance issue if using a D44 for the front. But with the D60 you are running and you got your cross over lined out it might not be an issue.
I used a rear one to do my front u bolt flip.

No **** Sherlock! I only posted the 2WD rear pic so the OP could see what 5796 looks like in comparison to 5348.

I'm thinking since I need new ubolts anyway, I may just get this: Ford Dana 60 Front U-bolt flip kit | U-Bolt Kits | WFOConcepts.com

I saw co, but you edited after I posted. Pic wasn't there when I posted. :P
yeah, 5/8 ubolts seem to be the target. I may still try to make the plates and get ubolts locally so I don't have to wait for them, but I do like that kit.
77, I wondered about that. I don't have a spare set to use but might look for one.

Well, I was all set to order the WFO ubolt flip kit but guess I'll look elsewhere. I'm ok with the $85 for the four bolts and two plates, but $41 to mail to me,, they are out of their gourds. I know for a fact they will fit in a $14/if it fits priority box from the post office. They must do a lot of business on ebay, giving a good price then jacking you on shipping.
Anyone know a better place to get a ubolt flip? Otherwise I'm just going back stock.
