Front Dana 60 and rear 14 Bolt swap
I'm planning on swaping my factory Dana 30 and 8 1/4 for a Dana 60 and 14 Bolt. My question is for the Dana 60. Any good ideas about the steering linkage? I'm going to use a truss kit which makes all the spring perches and control arms easy. I was thinking about doing a High steer setup. Everyones opions and Ideas would help lots.

I found High Steer arms and HD tie rods, Haven't been able to find a HD Pitman arm to fit the big tie rod ends yet

X2 I run heims on mine which don't mind angles as much as tie rods. What are you planning on getting the 60 out of because the later models from the late 80s up don't have enough tube on the driver side for coil buckets.

Actually you can run coils on the Ball Joint D60s it just takes a little more work, Ballistic Fab sells a kits to do it.

Alright. Good advise. The riemer is a good idea as long as it is the proper pitch for the tie rod. The Heims, Is a good idea, ill have to check to see if I can get DOT apporved ones. But they wouldn't like the sand very much I don't think.
