04-07 ford powerstroke dana 60 question

smittybronco · Oct 18, 2015

Does anyone happen to know if the 80s/90s model ball joint 60 outer will fit on the newer axles to make them 8 in 6.5 pattern? Or what is another alternative?

They will fit on the 99-04 but I'm not sure about the 05+

The older fixed spindle knuckles will not fit 05+

You can also redrill the unit bearing to 8x6.5

Most people have the hubs redrilled. Not sure how much that runs but I just run the 60/10.5 pair with the 8x170 pattern. Never tried swapping any outers.

I redrilled mine in a mill

I didn't think about redrilling them... I work in a machine shop so that wouldn't be bad at all.

Re:

So a leaf spring powerstroke front will accept the older outers.. correct?

I've not personally done it but yes I've heard the 97 down outters will fit on a 99-04. Ball joints out. Obviously the stub shaft would have to be changed as well.
