![]() ![]() If you're using a GM or Dodge front axle, you'll need to change the transfer case to one that sets the driveshaft on the passenger side. Placement of leaf spring perches aside, there are also no options for crossover steering. '94-02 Dodge Dana 60's come from the factory with link/coil suspension, they do not work with our solid axle conversion. They have kingpin knuckles that are already setup for crossover steering, but the front differential is on the passenger's side so the transfer case will need to be swapped to match if you want to keep 4WD. '76-91 K30 and V30 Chevy axles are good candidates, all with 32" spring pad widths. '76 and older models will have flat top style knuckles that can be machined for crossover steering, '77 and newer models require a new Reid Racing knuckle GM Dana 60 Very common, but the front differential is on the passenger's side so the transfer case will need to be swapped to match if you want to keep 4WD. '71-87 GM 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickups, '71-91 Blazers and Suburbans, all with 32" spring pad widths. '05+ Ford Dana 60's are all radius arm/coil sprung and do not work with our solid axle conversion. We don't really have much details other than that to make this axle work. High pinion, same driver's side drop differential as the GMT400 transfer case. These also use balljoint knuckles that we do not make crossover steering for. We've had customers make these axles work but keep in mind that our 36.5" solid axle conversion kit officially sets the springs 36" apart (due to the GM frame width) and the driver's side perch on the Dana 60 is machined into the differential so you can't really move the spring perches. '99-04 F250 and F350 Dana 60's have even wider spring perches yet at 37-1/2". However, they use balljoint knuckles that we don't have a crossover steering system for. ![]() '92-97 F350 axles fit our solid axle conversion as well, they share the same 36.5" spring pad width as the '85-91 axles. High pinion, same driver's side drop differential as the GMT400 transfer case, they use kingpin knuckles that can easily accept crossover steering. They use a wider 36.5" spring pad width that can let big tires rub on the spring and limit steering angle (say, 37" or bigger roughly, depending on wheel choice as well). '85-91 F350 Dana 60's are a good candidate, and the wider year range makes them more available. '80-84 Ford didn't use solid axles in any of their trucks, they all used the TTB/IFS. High Pinion, same driver's side drop differential as the GMT400 transfer case, they use kingpin knuckles that can easily accept crossover steering. '77.5-79 F250 (sometimes) and F350, high pinion, 31.5" spring pad width, these work great for our solid axle conversion but the narrow year range makes them hard to find. High pinion, same driver's side drop differential as the GMT400 transfer case, these will have "flat top" style knuckles that can be machined for crossover steering. '77.5-79 F250 Dana 44's also work well with our solid axle conversion, they use a high pinion differential, 31.5" spring pad width. ![]() Low pinion, same driver's side drop differential as the GMT400 transfer case, these will have "flat top" style knuckles that can be machined for crossover steering. ![]() '76-77 F250 Dana 44's work well with our solid axle conversion, they use a 31.5" spring pad width. We generally ignore the '75 and older axles as they're all drum brake and low pinion.Ĭoil sprung F150 and Bronco axles do not work either, most will fall into pieces if you cut the radius arm mounts off as they're integral to the housing/tube. ![]()
