Exclamation Anyone with a factory 2000-2002 front Dana 60.

If anyone has pictures of a 2000-2002 2500 with a dana 60 in the front. I would love to see them if you could please. Im currently working on a project and my towns junk yards are all out of them. What im looking for are pictures of the knuckles and brakes. I know they switched to the two piston calipers and have been told that the ball joints are mounted different starting in 2000. Just would like to see the difference. I have a 96 front 60 and know what that looks like. Just want 2000 and up. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure helm's truck is that new. He's quite a helpful fella, I'm sure he will set you up if he see's this thread.


Out of curiosity, what are you planning on doing? Why do you need the pics?

Ah yes, now I remember. You want to end up putting the dual piston brakes on, correct? Sorry to hear about your truck getting broke into, that sux.

And yes, we all like pics, so when the swap starts make sure your camera has got fresh batteries

hey guys its going to be another couple days before i get the pics up..i have to go back to work these next two days and the camera is at the shop..The lift and axle swap is done but we are on hold because of a nice foregin made banjo bolt that broke off in the caliper...also we had fun with making our own rear drive shaft and cutting alot out of the c.v. joint in the front driveshaft.. haha...we started thinking we would just get 5.5in lift outa the fabtech but realized that the offraod edition trucks already have a 2in lift w a coil spacer front so why not just leave it...haha but pics are comming soon..
