Hey i have a 85 ranger with dana 28 front axle and dana 7.5 rear. I put 9" of lift on it (3 body 6 SUS) and added(needs finished) a 5.0 H.O.(91 mustang). Am currently running 35" BFG MT and know the axles wont handle it. I have a dana 30 out of a cherokee that looks fairly simple to install(1/2'') on each side wider But with the 35's dont think it will hold up either(planning on 5.13 gears). Would I be better off finding a EB 44 or a dana 60(which i prefer) What all is involved in installing dana 60 (1979ish f250 front) do these have leaves or coils up front? Also what are the benefits of a gm 14 to a dana 60?(rear) I also plan on 4-linking it one day or should i dream further and try for rockwell 2.5 ton axles lol. I can get the dana 60's supposedly from a 79 f-250 but need to do more homework to know how to tell. Should i jump on them both or decide on the 9" i already have (needs narrowed also) any help I am greatful for........Rod
