Re: Axel Swap
I'm using an axle set from an 89 3/4 ton. Believe they are a dana 44 front and 60 rear. They are wider. rear needs the spring pads relocated. front I offset the passenger spring 1.5". fairly standard mod with these axles. Search the forum and a bunch of threads will come up.
Re: Axel Swap
Yep what superbee70 said. The rear spring pads do not need much movement as it will look like a direct bolt in, but after you get them in you'll see that the springs will start to bend in a little and go out of alignment and that's why you need to relocate the perches. The front is just like he said move the front passenger spring out 1.5 inches.superbee70 wrote:I'm using an axle set from an 89 3/4 ton. Believe they are a dana 44 front and 60 rear.

M37s are HMMWV in my world!
