Has anyone swapped their 44 and 30 for 1 tons yet? If so what problems did you have and how did you fix it.

I'm thinking about selling my 44 and 30 both with 4.88's and ARB air lockers total of 14k miles on them. And buying 1tons and adding 4.56's they don't need lockers right now but I want to do it with out spending any money. I know I'll have some cutting and welding but I want to know if anyones done it yet?

 

Your talking about D60s right?

 

D60 or 14bolt or something out of a f250 or 350 from the 80's or 90's anything larger than a D44

 

Screamin lizards has done several of them. I think they have been all in the hemi swaps

 

It can be done, your instrument panel will look like a X-mas tree, ABS, ESP, not sure if the vehicle will shift propperly and the speedo may not work.

If you move forward with the project we have front and rear bracket kits!!

the only thing i would worry about is the speed sencers.

 

You now have me currious I may look into a conversion.Of course adapting so I get no Xmas tree lights

 

The only way to make the rear work is by having tone rings on the axle.

One option is to buy our rear Rock Jock 60.

The second option is to buy the parts that you'll need to make it all work.

Awesome, thanks for you help I now have a place to start. Does anyone know what I might be able to get for a rear 44 and a front 30 with superior 4.88's and ARB lockers in both? I don't want to put them up for sale because if this project doesn't price out right I can't do it.

 

Ryan, does your tranny shift okay?
