Dana 60?
Thinking about converting my F250 4x4 to a dually. My questions is what is the differences between a DRW 60 and my SRW 60. I know they use larger studs. I've been told that they are about 2" wider. Is the housing wider or the hub offset different? I'm assuming perch width is the same.

Sorry I'm referring to the rear axle. I found spacers that will work for the front. I'm wanting to know how much narrower my rear axle would be if I simply bored my rear hub and rotor for the 9/16 studs vs. using a DRW hub. Are the rear housings the same width?
P.S. I'm also going to run a flat bed, so offset for fender clearance is not a problem.

Your rear brakes will not clear the tires. Why not buy a D70 dually rear end, which is better suited for what you need? It has a higher hauling capacity, greater by about 1400#, handles more abuse, has larger diameter shafts. and has larger shoes, 12x3 instead of 12x2.5. A GM corporate 14B is another option, tough as nails, and 13x3.5" brakes. Rear disc brakes are another option.
