Here's another not so great pic of an installed Dodge D60

you can either spread the springs apart slightly or get the offset bushings. you will need a chevy steering arm and a chevy yoke. you will also need the spring plates and new u-bolts. if you have any specific questions just ask /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I spread My springs on mine. I machined the Dodge Steering arm to fit the Chevrolet Drag Link. It was like using a raised steering arm on a Dana44 or 10bolt. Chevy drops down. Dodge raises up. 4in lift and my drag link looks like stock angles. Use Dodge spring plates. the two fixed studs are closer together than chevrolet. You may want to use a yoke from a chevrolet rear so You don't have to worry about the weird dodge U-joint size. (Slightly Bigger) I have a drive shaft with one stuck in it half way cause I tried to press it in. Most of this will apply if you have a Dodge rear with Selectro hubs on it. I don't know for sure if the other rears are the same. If you needed new hubs Mile marker is the only ones making them right now.

One thing that is kinda neat about my rear the front tires sit flush with the 14 bolt in the back. They don't stick out. The dodge front rear is narrower. This might make steering kinda problimatic though if you have really wide tires.
