build thread
I picked up a Dana 60 out of a 94 1ton and will start swapping it into my 94 250 tomorrow. Tomorrow I will pull the back axle to send in my springs to get re-arced and leafs added. Is this a good way to go? the guy at the spring shop said this should be fine. For the front I am getting new springs built, for a total lift of 8 inches. I will post pictures tomorrow. Will the calipers and rotors from my dana50 fit onto the dana 60?

the knuckles are different I believe.
the 85.5+ king pin dana 60 shares the same slide pin setup to retain the brake calipers that the dana 50 uses. . .the ball joint dana 60 (you said it's a 94?) has a different knuckle with cast in place ears in the knuckle to accept bolts to retain the brake caliper. . .kind of like chevy calipers
BTW, good luck with the swap and post pics!! I'd be working on mine but it's raining out
