It appears I will be in the position to buy complete front and rear axles to upgrade the running gear under my 71. The question is since I've already converted the 44 to discs and have a 76 big bearing in the shed, should I put in heavy duty axles, ARB's and new gears and call it good. Or, should I have a set of Dana 60's built to bolt in and upgrade for the added strength? I'm not really sure how much stronger the 60 is then the 9" but it should be an upgrade over the 44. I do plan to do some rock crawling, places like Paragon etc. but still want to have the truck streetable.
If complete new axles are the solution where should I look, obviously, Currie and Dynatrac come to mind but there must be a lot of other vendors also?
As always all comments, positive or negative are appreciated.
Thanks, Walt
