Yj front axle options

[jayphizzle]

Rockwells all the way! You can build a set of rocks cheaper than a front 60 any day. If you want a 60 to hold up to big block power, 35 spline stubs at the least. ($600-$700 for a kit) In addition to all the gears,lockers and such. Rocks have 6.72's in stock form, linloln lock em and rock em! But that's just my opinion. Good luck

I was thinking probably 500-600

I wish you luck. The 78-79 ford D60 in a ragged out state that needs everything will run you 1200 easy. I sold one for 1400 a few years ago that was bone stock. Later models still run a grand plus.

Well I've found a rear 2 1/2 rock for $150 and a rear 5 ton for $250 found one front rock for $1500 I think I found a 79 f350 have to call tomorrow and see if it's 4x4 so we will see about that

I was going to say I had a set of d44s that would work. Then you said big v8 and 40s...

Just throw a dana 60 under it and run it, chevy should swap right under with the stock spring perch width, if not, 4 link it

But the most important question that we are forgetting.. Did ya paint it yet? That would be my first move. The. Rockwells.. Bigger the better with that motor.

Gotta put that motor back together and make it run before it'll break axles............

Any easy way to tell heavy chassis f250 don't want to have to drive 3 hours to find out

Snowfighter F250 has a D60, the others are D44, get him to send pictures of the front axle

Also I was talkin to a buddy of mine the other day granted he was drunk but he said I could get by with a 75-77 hp 44 and rcvs any input?

Not with lots of horsepower, but yea a hp 44 with rcv's is pretty stout, but then you are in it for more than a 60 is anyway, but with small ball joints and smaller ring gear.

True but I can get those 44s for about $300 rcvs $800 I'm guessing maybe wrong haven't looked (are they life time)? So $1100 my question is how strong are 60 shafts? Would I have to buy rcvs or could I get by with stock and how weak are the ring gears on the 44s what ratio is the strongest for both

I use to run a hp44 with rcv's with a stock 4.0l and twisted splines and busted a bell with 37's. They replaced it all for free but no way would I run them with your setup. Also replaced ball joints at least once a year.

Saw a 79 F350 D60 Kingpin in stock form with 4.10s in it on the Book of faces yesterday for $900... Around Tulsa tho...probably a bit of a hike for most of the folks on this page.

You'd be hard pressed to find that axle much cheaper than that. 2.5 hrs would be worth it imo.
