I have been looking for information on a 60 regear. Thinking I am going 5.38s from my current 4.10s. Is there some good write ups on the tools needed and such? Are these like a 44 with the shim under the bearings on the carrier?

Identical set up to a D44.
If the shim goes under the bearings... Do you use a mock up bearing and grind out the center so it slips on and off the carrier?
Im also helping install 5.38s in a set of 1 ton axles at the moment...

Going thick gear. I have been thinking about a detroit but then I should also get better inner axles, outer axles, hubs, etc. I am going to just run my std carrier and lockrite for now. I have been doing ok so far but I have to slip the clutch to maintain control or speed. I figured getting proper gearing would help alot.
if low pinion I don't think there is a thick gear last I knew of .
only high pinion does thick gear .
at least in dana 60 stuff.

I was thinking the same thing but did a quick search and found a couple references to thick gears for the low pinion now.

OH Man and after I was going to post a link. I looked about a month ago and found that they had them now. I was looking at buying a case spreader now too. I know I don't need one but I have 2 60s and all my buddies do to so it will go to use.
I thought you already bought a case spreader?

You can buy "Set Up" bearing from one of the big suppliers. They make then already clearenced so you don't have to grind out the ID of a good or old bearing for setup. I think they're cheaper too since they're setup bearing not ment for use.
