Hi, I've searched the net and was unable to find a concrete answer, so here it goes - could you get a rear sway bar in a 1971 'Cuda that was equipped with a Dana 60 rear? Everything I've found suggests no, but I'd like to know 100% for sure. Thanks, Rob

I bolted a Firm Feel rear bar in my '70 , but I'm using a '68 B-Body Dana with Dr Diff's inset hanger kit.
There's no reason you can't bolt one in to your car too. The chassis mount brackets slip over the frame and are screwed on to hold. The bar end mounts simply sandwich above the springs and between the rear end housing.
Call Firm Feel and tell them you need a rear bar & installation kit for your wider rear end. The bar ends need to reach to the middle of the leaf spring.
You can see the end links in this photo.

Good to know. I was concerned that the larger "pumpkin" of the Dana 60 compared to the 8-3/4 might mean that a stock sway bar would interfere with the pumpkin.

My Challenger had the rear sway bar with the 8.75 rear end, changed over to a Dana and it bolted up the same with no issues. Good news!
