Machining DRW to SRW Dana 60 hubs.

[PORTER]

I have a customer that owns a machine shop that will do a set for me for a pretty reasonable cost. Does anybody have anything negative to say about doing this? I have looked online and there are very few that have said don't do it due to structural reasons, but many more said it will work fine as I have not seen any failures by what I have read. Anybody have any real world experience on this topic? Thanks

Did it, ran it for years no problems at all. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Did it on a customers jeep.. works just fine.. make sure you get the right size wheel studs...
