axles d60 and d44

dangerrangerstx · 08-29-2009, 09:18 PM

well i have axles from a 79 f250

how many spline is the rear axle shaft?
there's a difference in axles lengths in an f150 and f250?
do i need a new carrier for 5.13? carrier break is at 4.10s i hear
is 5.13 enough for 39.5s?
since i dnt have 600 bucks do u think alloy u joints will hold up to 39.5s with stock shafts and open diff?[ill be welding it shut once i get alloys.

thanxs
ps i never went this over kill on my cherokee and i wanna make sure im right so

Rear D60s out of those trucks usually have 30 spline shafts.

IMO, those axles are not enough for 39.5" tires, even with alloy shafts & u-joints they're marginal.
I'd go 37" tires max. 5.13 is a good ratio for 37" tires (5.38 would be better if you don't have the 4.0L, provided that ratio is available for the reverse-cut D44)
