Default tell me if it's worth it

creeping c-list and these have been on there for a while.....just curious if you guys would say they are worth it....to me it would be cheaper than buying a set of axles and rebuilding with locker and gears....

Not unless there are a couple of high dollar hookers and some blow included.

The top ad, The front diff has a pass side pumpkin no good for you, well unless you are going to do a t case double setup, which you can then pick your drop side to which ever side you like.

Actually not bad at all considering that are built out. I'd inquire about all the paperwork.

The dana60 front appears to be low pinion though, but hard to tell. Also, I think it's a kingpin.



Appears drivers side to me?

dip, you realize there is one fabrication issue right? get dodge coil buckets integrated if you keep them, or integrate coilovers, or go leaf spring (simplest).


Edit: you'll need to know what year and what vehicle they came out of. Then you can determine if you want/need to keep your speedo working in addition to the fabrication. Lots of build threads out there that can guide you, but research will get you there to minimize the $$$ as much as possible. Driveshaft changes are an example.

In the pix below you can see the cast in leaf spring mount, flat side should be up, making this a pass side pumpkin. It is a Kingpin front that's for sure.

^Yup agreed.

Based on that detail this confirms the axle is a Kingpin HP60. Chevy?

Also appears to have been intended to use hydraulic ram assist.
