    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Yes The crossover steering setup came off of a dana 60 that was mounted on a 12 inch lifted truck. There was a few inches of clearance, but if I hit that hard enough it would have caused damage.

    I think the hydraulic assist is way overkill for my application.

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Got the crossover steering in last night. I notice that the linkage would end up hitting the engine crossmember. So I ended up cutting the lower lip off to clear it. I also installed a 2wd gear box and the ORD steering brace.

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Didn't bother checking the front, the rear was hard to tell with it being used gears. But after checking the rear a few times it was right on. I just made sure to measure the old pinion housing shim and install new shim that were the same thickness. I didn't check the front because I was not...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    I installed the front carrier with the same shims it had on it when it was installed in the rear axle and got 14 thousandth of an inch play in the gears. Close enough for me on the front. The rear end I got to 5 thousandth which is perfect.

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Standard vs crossover steering? What do you guys think? I have a 4inch lift possibly running 37 inch humvee tires in the future. I do not do any extreme offroading. What does crossover steering have to offer over the standard steering setup. I have a crossover steering setup that came on a...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    I got the 4.10 dana 60 and 14 bolt this weekend. Now I just need to swap in my dana power lok in the front and the back already has the gov-lock. Luckly the 14 bolt had the spring perches moved to fit a 1/2-3/4 ton, and it has the huge 1 ton brake drums. I think i'm gonna do some new slave...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    I'm sure I could do it, but is it worth buying all the tools for one job? Not to me.

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    It was off a toyota, I had it welded to my front tow hooks and extended out. I am pretty mechanically inclined, i've rebuilt a 6.2 diesel before and do all my own work on it. But i've never done a rearend gear change. Looks time consuming and requires experience.

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    The original color looks to be a white and yellow combo. I assume it went from the air force to a firestation and painted red, then auctioned off after that. After driving it for 2 weeks now, Im pleased with the MPG it gets. 15 mpg freeway/city combo according to the odometer distance between...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    I think my plan will be to stay with the 33 tires, and regear my dana 60 to 3.73 with used parts from ebay. Then I could resell my 4.56 gears and carrier to recoup some funds. I will probably just do the swap myself. I have never done a gear swap before, does it need to perfectly lined up...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Using the 4.56 gear would put me at 2700+ rpms at 60, at the moment I am doing 2450+ rpms at 65 with my 3.73 gears and 33 tires. I was planning originally to use my 37 humvee m/t (not radials) and the 4.56 would have put me right back into the stock rpm range, but after reading alot about the...
