So my 99 Fummins has a dodge Dana 80 rear axle.Front is a Dana 60 with unit bearings and adapters from 8x170mm to 8x6.5 lug pattern.
I acquired a 95 ball joint Dana 60 set of knuckles.I already know the knuckles will swap. The superduty axle tie rods sit on top of the knuckle and OBS axle the tie rods sit on the bottom.My question is has anyone re-drilled and re-tapered the Knuckles to accept the new style tie rods ?
Or alternative All Heim Joints?
I am trying to keep it simple if I can reuse the superduty Tie rods.That way If i need replacing I can get them at any local parts store.
