Depends on whether or not the pinion is centered, the 1 3/8" difference is only if the pinion is offset the standard Mopar amount. (1 3/16")

Dana 60 axle length is proportional to the tube length.
In other words, if the Driver's side tube is 1/ 3/8" longer than the Passenger's side tube, the Driver's side axle must also be 1 3/8" longer than the Passenger's side axle.
Right now my rear is at 45 3/4.. flange to flange. I need it to end up at 50 5/8ths total with brakes. Which im using 8 3/4 10" brakes. I called the builder last night to find out if his numbers were wrong and he said he wrote it down wrong. Numbers now are 22 15/16ths and 20 1/4. To me these still dont jive.
can you tell me how I can measure myself?

What is the length of the housing measured from outside edge of center casting, to outside edge of housing end...
is this the face of the flange to the center of the pumpkin? Im sorry im confused here? I attached a photo is this what measurement your looking for?
No No No... we talked about this already...
housing measured from outside edge of center casting, to outside edge of housing end
He's talking about the same spot I was with you... where the tube inserts into the housing, NOT the housing centerline. Those measurements need to be 1 3/8 difference. the center section should be 17.5" wide.
The measurement you SHOULD get are right at 13 7/16" pass side and 14 13/16" drivers side

Ok now that puts it in perspective. Ok so I need these measurements. Ill get them tonight when im home. and remeasure the housing width.... And see where I come up at. Thanks for your help Rob and Cass and others much appreciated. Some times you just got to draw me a picture.

You still never answered an important question...is the pinion centered or offset the standard Mopar amount?

Well it was sort of answered. I need to measure the tubes to be sure it is offset like it should be.
