Dana Super 60 Front Axle
#17
Funny you should ask. My point in trying to really nail it down is at some point I want gears and lockers and so I wanted to see what exactly I had. I didn't really think the F250/F350 had a Super 60. I thought it was a typo or something. So, in doing a bit of research I realize I sure do have a Super 60 and if I want the larger gears I can find exactly what I want 4.88 or 5.38, made by Dana/Spicer and the larger 10". So, when/if I do go with lower gearing I should be able to get the stock Ford parts for a F450/F550 for my F250 equipped Super 60.

So the Super 60 10" gears are only available in 4.88 and 5.13? I read online you could get a Super 60 from Ford Racing in 4.30s. '05 and up all have the Super 60 housings I read, but they don't all have the 10" gears. The bigger gears would definitely be the way to go with a lift and big tires.

Sorry cartmanea, yes, they are available in 4.30. I have the 4.30 Super 60 in my stock truck. If I go with lower gears I'll go with 4.88 or 5.38 which Ford/Dana offers in the larger Super 60 10".
Only the 2005+ V10 trucks with 4.30 or the PSD dually (Tow Boss with 4.30 gearing) has the Super 60 with the larger 10" gears. I don't know if the housings are all the same or not...I didn't think to check that.
The Super 60 is basically under all the Super Dutys with 4.30 and lower (numerically higher) gears. If you have a Super Duty with 4.30 you have the Super 60. If you have a F450 or F550 you have a Super 60.

This is getting interesting for me, especially I'm in the lookout for a used Super 60 axle to put under my Class A Motorhome 4x4 conversion. So if either the 2005-up F250/350/450/550 have the Super 60, do they all have the same LENGTH axle? Does anyone here knows the WMS-WMS of a Super 60 DRW? I need one that is as wide as it can be.
