Dana rear question

Dana rear question - 04/11/13 02:57 AM

Are the u-bolts and plates that hold a Dana rear to the springs different than an 8 3/4? Am installing a built up Dana in my race truck to replace the 8 3/4. Truck is at a chassis shop getting done and I did't check to see if they were the same. Will need to find some if they are different.

It depends on the axle housing diameter, if your Dana 60 is a original Mopar or a aftermarket with three inch diameter tubes your old parts will fit and work fine If it is a Truck or Van 3/4 ton cut down with 3 1/8 or 3 1/4 inch axle tubes they won't, measure yours to see

Thanks. I did find out mine was a 3 1/8 diameter. Have new u-bolts coming.
