So you would tap them in before you bolt on the spindle. Is it a standard part number on the seal, or something your having made?

I edited what I originally posted. You can use the same front axle seals. If you'd like, give us a call and we can run you through it & get you going!

I might have a project for them down the road. I figured it would enlighten guys on here as well as to how it all goes together.

Just received your bushings today. I use a bunch of your tabs, bushings and DOM sleeves for link and crossmember mounts. I love your fast turn around on shipping...less than 72 hrs. Keep up the good work!

Here's a pic of my latest use of the bushings and DOM sleeves. Great parts that make life easy!

Just ordered a set to run on my Ruff stuff 9" housing, but planned on using Ford spindles since I run a Ford D60 front end. I don't think here was any mention of the needed spacers on your website? Having been out for three years now, are the spacers part of the ring package (per your original post above)?

I just corrected the original post. I was half asleep writing it. What I had in my mind was the way the fronts went together but these are only for the rear. It was the spacing for the caliper bracket when working with front hubs, the Chevy bracket is within the stack and the Ford is on the outside. On the rear you would use a Weldon bracket and it wouldn't matter a bit.

Why would one want to put Dana60 front spindles on the rear axle?

What am I missing?

Are you building 4 wheel steering setups?

To do a light weight rearend that has good clearance with 8 lug and full float. The 14 bolt, D60/70 and sterlings all hang down further and at substantially heavier.

If you buy Blackbird's 5x5.5 spindle kit you can keep 5 lug. That is the direction I am going.

Can you post a picture of all the parts laid out on a table showing all that is needed and how it goes together?
I am not grasping it in my head yet.
