drop down bracket for dana 60 conversion
I am taking the Dana 50 off my 250 and putting on a Dana 60 straight axle .I bought that drop down bracket it came with 6 bolts. 3 bolts are shorter and 3 are longer. Do the longer bolts go on the top of the bracket and the shorter ones on the bottom or what?there was no directions to tell me.ugh

I was thinking that too but the track bar usually mounts to the frame not in the middle of the truck.

He's GOT to be talking about the trackbar. I guess 
But even then, you don't HAVE to have one...
