Alright guys and gals i will eventually make a complete how to on this one but for now i wanted to share the photos with you and give you the basic requirements i did this all in a one "CAR" garage on jackstands lol. Yes it is possible to do this, there is some things differently you must do but dont be intimidated. Since i have the mcgaughys 2/4 drop i had to shorten my driveshaft compliments of AUSTIN DRIVETRAIN (they do the best damn job), 1" which gave me enough space for dips and bumps to prevent a cracked tailhousing on the transmission and still be in a comfortable zone as far as yoke slip and output shaft go. The leafs bolt up under the axel so this works great for dropped trucks, if not im sure you could cut your stock perches and weld them ontop of this axel but that requires some more work. The D60 has a pinion yoke instead of a flange so the stock driveshaft flange has to go, and the u joint is different as well. I got what we call a Bastard joint with two bearing cap sizes one for our 1330 series drivelines and one for the 1350 SRT-10 series driveline you can get that part here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dana-Spicer-5-648X-U-Joi...891197QQcmdZViewItem if not just search the 1330 to 1350 conversion joint. I went ahead and bought two new girdles and 4 bolts for them at dodge that hold the u joint onto the pinion yoke. The axel i bought came with brakes but if you need hemi brakes on them you can buy brackets to mount stock calipers onto the axel.If you have questions feel free to ask me, here are the pics.

Yep my pinion seal is leaking lol Mine also looks bigger because it is on jackstands so dont be fooled.


WIMPY!!!

BEEFY!!!!!!



This is what happends with too much wheel hop and a flip kit.

D60 perches




conversion joint

Nice

SO DID THE VIPER BRAKES MAKE A DIFFERENCE??? FEEL ANY DIFFERENT TO YOU DRIVING IT? GOOD JOB BRO!!!

Good job.

Nice! Those red SRT calipers are going to look awesome behind your rims.

Great pics. I am doing the swap in a few weeks so I look forward to your writeup. I completely rebuilt and detailed my axle while it it out. Also installed a set of 4:56's.

Actually yes the brakes did make a noticeable difference, you dont really pay attention to rear brakes but i immediately felt the difference, of course it could also be the new fluid, because you can plan on draining the system after you take those lines off. I bled the whole system and put in brand new fluid. I can definitely help you out with that install when you have questions, if you are "mechanically inclined" this should be easy, I started at 7:30 with a buddy with the wheels on the truck and had the new one on with wheels in about 2.5 hours, of course it wasnt driveable until i had my driveshaft reworked. I also plan on welding in a bracket for the Wheel hop Damper ontop of the diff and putting on the rear sway bar from an srt10.

diggin the new look bro! deffenatly looks good.

thanks i cant wait to see what yours will look like phil i hope you enjoy them lol

Nice work!

I've got a D60 lined up for a post-deployment swap, but I was under the impression that its spring mounts were on top of the axle. If they are underneath like yours, it'll mean a bit more work to get new ones welded on top.

there is a double standard here though i did forget to mention, if you get one out of a QC srt-10 then the mounts are on top, if you get one out of the RC srt10 then they are on bottom for the factory flip kit.

other than the mounts being on top or bottom are the RC and QC axles the same??

sounds like I'll have to look for one off a QC SRT-10 I like my stance where its at
