Diff 05+ Superduty Dana 60 in a CJ7

[silver97]

Has anyone put a superduty dana 60 in their CJ7 in a three link setup? I was going to swap the tubes/knuckles around and make it a passenger drop. My concern is the yoke position on the axle and the narrow frame of the CJ7 .

I have friends that have put this axle in their TJ's and one who put one in a YJ Wrangler.

It is a very, very wide axle for any year Jeep, especially any CJ7 since the CJ's narrowly spaced thin C-channel welded together frame rails are closer spaced compared to beefier full one piece boxed Jeep YJ or TJ Wrangler frames.

I am sure it can be done though as I fit the front axle from a 1976 K20 Camper Special Chevy square-body truck Dana 44 with an ARB locker in mine.

Proper steering geometry under full suspension cycling and no bump steer is going to be harder to attain than getting the axle slung under your CJ FWIW......
