[QUOTE="wheelinjp, post: 1132128, member: 15970"] when I did my d300 in mine I had to run a 1.5in body lift and still had to cut a small hole in the floor for the shifter clearance. If you go drivers drop, run a different t-case like a 3.8 atlas and leave the axles full width, running hummer beadlocks on it with 1.5in spacers up front for steering arm clearance you should be money ahead. You will save on the cost of narrowing housings, custom length shafts, body lift, and having to do upgrades to the t-case. 4 to 1s and a 32spline output are over a grand, and a 3.8 atlas is like 1500-1800 used or 2000 new. You will be into your dana 300 1300 or so and it is still an inferior t-case to an atlas. Besides I think you can run your stock crossmember with the atlas. I would start saving and shopping for an atlas and go from there drivers drop. Wait a minute you have a 90 ford d60? shoot too bad it isnt a 78-79 they are 32in center on the spring mounts. Maybe wait a little longer, sell your 60 and buy an earlier one, and do it as a bolt in. I did this build a few years ago with pass drop and it can be done much easier with drivers drop stuff if you are keeping the stock engine and tranny.
