Dana 60 DRW to SRW

[ryoken]

what parts are needed/different to go srw? I'm assuming the spindle...

 

[nvrenuf]

Technically, only the actual bearing hub. Some people swap rotors too but it's not necessary, the DRW rotors have a smaller stud hole than SRW so they can be drilled out. The bit size is listed in the Dana 60 Bible on Pirate4x4.

Spindles, caliper brackets, etc are all the same.

The 60 Bible also details machining DRW bearing hubs to SRW to further save money.

I went ahead and bought two brand new setups for each side. This included hubs and rotors, with races already pressed in. Got them from a local parts wholesale house. Paid $400 I've seen them on eBay for similar prices but you gotta look for them. They aren't just listed as Dana 60 stuff.
