D60 brakes & lift Q

[ace138]

Do both D60 and 10 bolt caliber use 10 mm banjo bolts? I'm doing an axle swap and don't have the 60 at home (it's at the shop getting regeared). I need to know if the brake lines for the 10 bolt will work on the 60. If not, I will need to know what to buy.

Aso I need to know how much lift I will get running 2 1/2 lift springs on a stock D60 spring perch. My understanding is that I'll get a little more lift since the perch on the 60 is a little taller than the one on the 10bolt.

Thanks

Banjo bolt size is the same. When i did my D60 swap i measured the difference in spring perch height and it was .750" difference.

Thanks Guys!

Jeff,

You should hit me up on 4x4crossing. We've got a few guys doing a Gilmer run soon. Hopefully my rig will be ready. The trip will be late or mid May.

I have an old 60 Not sure the year but it was neck down. The banjoe bolts are 7/16. I just drilled out the fittings from my 10 bolt hoses.

77-78.5 or so Dana 60's had 7/16. It corrisponds with the change from the Dana44 (7/16) to the 10 bolt (10mm). So its possible to find both, but more likely to have 10mm.

Thanks. Now I know what year my 60 is.
