They would sure save on U joints, but I figure my combo will be strong enough, I will just carry an extra u joint, maybe an extra axle shaft and I will be good to go!

I agree that on your application I wouldnt use anything else but for 99% of us who do drive our trucks to work an so forth rocks can be just as expensive as a chromo'd 60 and a 1 ton rear. Not to mention easier to install. Both axles have their plus and minus.

My goal is to convert a rock owner over to a D60/Sterling setup!

Thats when the T-shirts will be made!
hahaha, that will never happen, nobody wants to go down in strength....

im just saying, if i ever build a streetalble truck again....it wont be on rockwells.....but for off-road only......you cant beat em.....

Sarcasm is my first language.



Sometimes though, it is hard to pick it up in written text on the internet.

You? mess around with people? I never would have thought. Even after reading this thread.
