I'm in the middle of a Dana 60 swap. The rear end is done and I've disassembled the front. I can't for the life of me find lower control arms or lower control arm bushings as mine needed cut out. The holes, as other threads have mentioned are slightly smaller on the D60 than on the 44 so they will need reemed out slightly to fit. The 1500 for some reason has uses larger control arm bolts. Also are the camber bolts available anywhere other than the dealer?

 

Might be able to get camber bolts from parts store as well. Some have gotten them, and found the 'cam' part of the bolt to be smaller diameter than what was expected......

Lots of places sell control arms... If you want new, any shop/site that sells lifts, will have arms as well. Then there is always the junkyard.

 

Thanks for the reply. I will be wary of the small cam bolts. As far as replacing the lower control arm bushings I'm thinking of taking it to a spring shop and seeing if they can find something that will fit. Although they told me they didn't have anything that would. If that doesn't pan out I suppose I'll be going the custom control arms route Anyone know any good custom shops that I can talk to tomorrow?

 

^^^^^Would help if we knew your location.

 

Whoops That may just help I live Dayton, Ohio

 

For the bushings just check out summitracing.com im pretty sure ive seen some poly bushing replacement there before.

 

So how did the rear driveshaft bolt up? Ive heard people say that you need to make a hybrid driveshaft (half 1\2 ton half 1 ton)

 

My understanding is you just need a hybrid U-joint. 1330/1350, I think.

 

I put a dana 60 hd in my rear end. I did switch the yoke to a 1350 ubolt yoke from a 1410 which was on it. But the driveshaft ujoint itself was a 1330 So I ran a 1330 1350 combi joint. If I had to get it shortened, I didn't, I would have gone straight 1350. Also I did a long add a leaf from general spring kc which I had to take to a spring shop to reuse the stock spring clamps.

I did just go ahead and order some energy bushing, so I appreciate the help in finding them.
