[QUOTE="ItsA96, post: 1573191, member: 18280"] Looking to build a D60 for a WJ. End result should be something like this: [URL]https://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-6164744-dana-60-bolt-in-rear-wj-axle-assembly.html[/URL] Desired finished width is stock WJ 63.5" or 65" (JK) wheel mounting surface to wms. Eventually, I'd like to go with an E-locker which unfortunately rules out a 14 bolt, 9" and many others. What I'd like to find is a D60 with 3.73 gears, a factory limited slip, ideally a Truetrac, Auburn Grip-N-Loc, ect, and 35 spline axle shafts. That way it can be run for now with stock gearing and the gear ratio can be changed when a matching front is built. Can anyone help narrow down the list of trucks to search for? So far, I've got this: 77-87 GM 1ton truck, van, C&C Dana 60 HD 35 spline 74-2020 Ford 1T truck, van, wagon, C&C D60 35 sp If a front would be wide enough after being narrowed then we can also include these (although less likely to have a factory limited slip): 75-91 GM 3/4T front D60 Hd 35 spline 79-2020 Ford 3/4t front D60 35 sp 76-2000 Dodge 3/4t, 1t, van, C&C, motor home, ft D60 71-93 Dodge 1/2T ft Dana 60 HD I'm guessing a full-floater will not be wide enough to narrow? The plan at this point is to use WJ or JK brakes. It appears as though this will allow me to retain the e-brake, wheel speed sensor and abs. Are the WJ and JK brakes interchangable? Basically, are the wheel bearing plates the same dimensions and caliper positions the same? Do they use the same backing plate? I'm leaning towards JK because of the availability of aftermarket brakes but it might be convenient to use WJ at first to save on initial cost. Full-float would be awesome but I don't believe it could be built with the stock bolt pattern and would require different disc brakes? New semi-float shafts will need to be ordered and I'm assuming they can be drilled for 5 on 5" and either 5 on 5.5", 6 on 5.5" or 8 lug to match the eventual front. [/QUOTE]
