Dana 60 being installed under my 91

Premier, I have provided the axels and I do all the busy work labor wise. Cutting, scraping, grinding etc. They have purchased all the raw material. Coil overs, heims, all the bar etc. It is there design.
James T, I am not sure, its stock except for the locker and gears.

May I ask how much the total will be? This is the route I would like to eventually go.
 






Around 6K
 






Not too bad. I should have saved 2k more and done mine instead of the superlift lol :(
 






If I was smart about it, that is exactly what I would have done :banghead:
I recomend to everyone to just save a bit more and do a solid axle conversion

Any updates?
 






I have been cutting fenders, removing sheet metal and moving engine components around to make way for these tires. I will take some pictures tonight.
 






Trimmed fender...

Pepper had just started working on the track bar mount when I left yesterday.
 












Now thats what im talking about. :D
 


















is there gonna be coil overs or just a standard spring/shock setup?

Looks like full stuff is still gonna rub!

I see tube fenders in the future.

More pix! More pix!!
 






Trac bar bracket pic= shows me just how much i cannot weld. :p
 






I will have Rick post picture of the trimming I did to the battery tray and associated metal. It has been removed all the way back to the fire wall. So believe it or not the tires will tuck into the fenders. The axle axtually tops out at the frame. I will build a battery box and weld it to the coil over shock towers. I plan on running dual bats.
They started my cross over steering and took measurements for the shocks. I plan on getting the rear installed next weekend.
 






Ahh, I remember seeing mine in that state...Boy did it feel good :D Then it gets boxed in and painted and you know it is time to wheel it ;)
