Installing D60 front with Duff Radius arms???

[broncomitch]

From what i know, there are bushings that go into those holes where you bolt the radius arm to them.

mmmm i seeeeeeee lol

Where are you located? Are you on NWCB? If not, you should join!!!

Yes am interested in those weld on brackets...

We are right between I-5 and 4 Wheel Parts, let me know if you want to come by and check them out, As far as I know they wont limit articulation
at all, I have, on mine (with my own style radius arms) and its
mounted to the front axle with 2 bushings on the axle end and a Rubicon express joint on the frame end and its seems fine. Heres a crappy cell phone pic of the pic on my monitor before my last computer fried ;D

I you are using the 93 axle, I don't think there is enough room to mount the c bushing with the diff so far to the drivers side?

We are going to do the Cage mounts with arms to my friends with in a couple of weeks, I don't think it will limit the articulation.

Yes, that is one of the reasons i started this thread.. I dont think they will fit either. The 93 is furthest to the drivers side with the 3rd member. But also why i bought it. I think the cage style mounts is what i will use. I dont think they c cups / bushings will fit.

 

[broncomitch]

i wouldn't think the c's would. there i tight fit on the 44 and the 60 has a much bigger axle tube.

Not the diameter, you have to shave the bushings to fit over the 60, bigger diameter than the 44....

What is meant is the 93 d 60 have the pinion very close to the drivers side knuckle. So a very short drivers side axle tube. So, little room for the width of the c bushing. But that is why i wanted and bought that year of axle. I need the pinion as far away from the motor as possible.

 

[broncomitch]

ah, i got ya. well you could always cut that long tube down and extend the short one. pain in the butt tho.

 

[carter2772]

nope.... i bought this axle because of that reason. I need to put my driveline as far to the left(drivers side) as possible.

 

[broncomitch]

why? go rockwells =)

 

[carter2772]

no, d 60 front sterling 10.25 rear, full width... e4od trans, and need the driveline to stay away from the shifter. so the father to the drivers side i can keep it, the better...

 

[SpareParts]

I'm thinking about going this way also, I think the extra room will be nice with the doubler shifters and such. I'm sick of replacing d44 stuff. I have the sterling with 4:10's and just need to find a D60.

The cage brackets will bolt to the duff arms.. I guess the duff and cage arms are same, actually designed by the same guy.

Found my 60, when are you going to post some pics....? I'm anxious to see how it will fit.

 

[carter2772]

Pics of axles installed?

What 60 did you get? Just a front? Are you going full width?
