1993 ford f250 OBS Dana 60 swap
« on: Yesterday at 07:04:42 PM »
I banged up the front end on my truck and need to rip the twin traction beam Dana 50 apart and replace one of the beams but for the same cost I came across a 1994 f250 being parted out that had a Dana 60 front axle swap and I'm considering making it happen, still weighing my options but wondering if anybody else here has done a similar axle swap

If I'm not mistaken the Dana 60 and some suspension items were essentially what made the difference between the f250 an f350

I plan on towing a 28 foot rv and a bunch of other stuff and it makes sense to me that this is the move to make but thought I'd see what y'all's have to say

I replaced the TTB on my 86 F-250 with a dana 60. It was a good fit, but required at least 3" of lift to clear the engine cross member.

I am not sure if the drag link from the D60 will connect directly to your steering box. I did high steer on mine.

Another item to note is that there was no need for a panhard on the TTB setup, so you will need to find a way to get one installed to prevent bump-steer.

TLDR: It looks easy on the surface, but doing it correctly and safely takes a bit more work.
