Spicer Ultimate Dana 60 axle +4" wide installed

[JerryG]

How does re drilling the shock mounts higher improve things? The same question for the ower portion of the boxed bracket.
Thanks

I did my signature BMB lift as well....re drilled the shock mounts higher.

I chose 1.5" lift this time (instead of 2") , and will adjust front ride height to match.

I'll cut and reweld the lower portion of the boxed bracket for a 2" increase in ground clearance, next.

Provides better ground clearance while also providing some lift. Boxing the bracket provides strength.

Keep your eyes on exodus 4x4. I noticed in their last video showcasing portals, the rear axle had no track bar.... They said they have another video coming out on that topic...

It’s Rockkrawlers new bronco 4-link.

I went to order one today and was told they've only sold 5 so far and won't have a version for the Dana 60 until mid summer. BigMeats- will you please get one and let us know how to fabricate brackets to mount their truss? You know you want one

the tube is bigger diameter, and the cast center is both taller and wider...so the part is completely different. there are other truss' available for the 60 that can be fabbed to work. I personally plan on a 3 link, but it will be more difficult to do because of the fuel tank location.

Why and when a 3 link?

Not sure if you are thinking a 3 link with triangulated lower control arms or more like a wishbone 3 link.

I personally think a wishbone 3 link is the ticket, My old jeep liberty had one, so simple and so stout. This Rockcrawlers 4 link is already 90% of the way there, not sure why they wouldnt just go all the way to making those arms into one big V (or U, around the fuel tank) with one big pivot above the diff.

I’ve had it in my cart on their website….ive been hesitant for various reasons (mostly being unsure what I want as a end result for the rear axle/suspension) I was kinda hoping they would send me a discount code to further tempt me….but no such luck. Hahaa

I'll add 4 link kit for the Dana 60 to the down pipes for the 2.3 I am waiting to come to market.

Will the factory driveshaft bolt up the D60?

Not with out changes....Options there are spicer driveshaft with 1350 joint, or terraflex D60 CV yoke (fits JLs and broncos) ..or a custom driveline.
