    dana 60 vs 14 bolt detroits

    You wont hurt the 10.5 14 bolt. The RAWR (rear axle weight rating) is usually limited by the tires or springs that axle can handle whatever you would throw at it. The dana 70 is comparable strength wise with the 14 bolt some would argue the 14 bolt is stronger because it has a extra pinion...
