dana 70 vs. 10.25" ford???
I've been looking to do a solid front axle swap on my F-250 93'. I found a dana 60 front high pinion and a dana 70 rear from an 87' both for $1500. Is a dana 70 stronger than my 10.25"? Or should I just spend the $1500 on a better or newer dana 60? Thanks.

Hope this helps. I found it on another website. It is a good write up.
