Default Dana 60's
Hey guys just wondering if anyone has taken Dana 60's from a Ford or other truck and put it in the JK. I have found a couple of Dana 60's and was wondering if I could make them work. Thanks

Erik

You will lose a lot of computer functions unless you buy high buck axles.

yeah sure, it's pretty simple the way I'm going about it. Now if I could do my own axles with full computer function that would be way cool.
