Re: Dana 60 swap done!
I bought a D60 rear from a guy. When I go there I was surprised to see steel wheels and tires still on it. We loaded it in my truck by hand, no lift, no tractor. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. I can't imagine what a D60 front weighs with the knuckles and brake components installed.

Re: Dana 60 swap done!
Front D60’s are definitely heavy. I don’t quite think they are as heavy as a 10.5” 14 bolt full-floater with 13” drums though. A rear D60 is much lighter than both a front D60 and a 14 bolt FF. Either way, your lower intestines will be hanging out of your shorts if you try to pick one up by yourself

Re: Dana 60 swap done!
if you wheel it in a body heavy rig, some unsprung low weight is nice.

Re: Dana 60 swap done!
heavy? hell yeah! d60 & 14b combo weigh as much as a geo metro.
60 rotors & 14b drums are finger crushers! |
