So I got a buddy with 2 Dana 60s out of a older 3/4 ton that he will give me for free. We think the gearing is 4.10 but might be lower he had the set up for 44s. Can I get this to work in the jeep or will it just be to of a pain?

Got a 60 rear in mine and would have one in the front but they run $1200+ around here for one that need rebuilding. It's a bit of fab but no more than any other axle swap that isn't a factory XJ axle.

So you don't think it be to much for the engine to handle? And there all rebuilt so there good condition and can't really beat free ha

If you are willing to put the time in it... id say sure go for it... but only if you acually use the jeep to go off road lol...you wont break them.. you will break something eles first... u joint trans... twist drive shaft... but you wont break the D60

Sasq40

My main concern is the engine being to small, I figure those for free and getting them in will be the same cost as beefing the stock with a much better result

thats what gears and 4:1 kit are for

What size tire you planning to run? Because the diffs are pretty big on D60's.

Sasq40

I was think 37 if I was going with the Dana 60 and 33-35 if I stay with the stock

RoyalXJ

id go bigger then 37s

Trying to fit Bigger would be hard lol. Has many ppl converted the front to leaf springs with those axles which might be a pain

time for hydro-steer if you are going big
