Alright, I'll try and break it down for ya:

Rear end- $500.00-craigslist (but I got lucky, saw one on ebay recently-1500.00
Parking brake cables- 55.00
Body lift- 200.00
Wheels/tires/new shocks-2500.00
Ring/pinion- 300.00
Drive shaft mod- 500.00
Tools/shop supplies/gadgets-500.00

In all with the body lift and installing the front ring and pinion (the hardest part!) It took about 3 weeks, most of which was about 4 hr/weekday due to work.

Hope you are still checking this out here. Would like to know your status on this axle?

Anything to report good/bad/other? Comparison to any other rear swap.

Thanks

 

Hasn't been around for better than six months..... Don't hold your breath on an update.

 

Yeah, I took a gander at that. Can only try! I mean, it IS V-day.

 

Offer him candy for an update?

 

Too much of a commitment right there. This candy is conditional.... lol


Super 60 search hasn't been that great for me, which is probably my lack of keywords expertise.

Trying to determine or compare an 05 SRT-10 rear super 60 to a 01 Dana 70.

They seem quite comparable in shaft spline (35), options, strength, etc. Curious what the "breaker" could possibly be to decide.....

 

I don't know if you have these specs.

Edit: If the pinion shaft dia is the same as the regular Dana 60, and the super 60 having the bigger ring gear I would place the weak spot at the pinion shaft. Dana 70 would be my choice out of the two.

Canned the SRT-10 option, even though it had lots of sweeteners. Biggest limitation is R&P options. That is only killer here.


Some helpful info though:
