(BTW, those Dana 60 where intentionally offset per Mopar specs ) if I'm remembering correctly, maybe not that much, maybe more :shruggyIf you make your rear end centered and don't want to offset the axle lengths make sure and measure the center(if your using a spool) of the inside to the axle bearing flanges on both sides before ordering the new axles Last edited by Cab_Burge; 10/31/12 02:18 AM.

No,probally not. U joints need a difference of angles to rotate around so the needles inside will spin and not sit still in one place all the time Look at four wheel drive vechiclles that are jacked up and have offset transfer cases and rear ends offset Mopar has offset the motor, trans and trans tunnels in the rear wheel drive cars to give the driver more room forever Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
