Default dana 60 installed

just got the 60 under the front still have to do the rear. swap wasn't bad only trouble was getting the control arms on. had to pry them in and then my pinion angle was really bad so had to drill new holes in the axle to mount the control arms and fix the angle. also did the hd steering upgrade.

holy cow, how much lift have you got?
lets see some pics of the new holes for the control arms.
did the drive shaft bolt in with no changes?

which steering setup is that, the 98 HD or the 08.5 ?
where did you get it.

It's got 6" lift. The steering is the 98 hd stuff. Will get more pics in a week or so when I get the rear in. Also I'm pretty sure the front drive shaft willnfit right in. I never installed it as it needs replacement. Getting some serious vibrations from it in 4x4. So really no point putting it back in. I'm waiting for my new spring perches to come in so I can tackle the rear.

Sorry only have the sway bar that came off mine. Need to find some longer links then I will reinstall it. I don't like the drop brackets.
