Default Spicer Ultimate Dana 60 questions

I ordered my husband the spicer ultimate dana 60 3.38 gears for the front and back. I would like to know what size rims you would recommend? We currently have a rough country 6 inch long arm lift, with the extended rough country drives shafts. Would that be compatible with the new danas? If not, what would you recommend? I have also been having a hard time finding out the size of the rough country U joints. I just want to make sure I get everything he is going to need before the axles get here. Thanks!

Your drivesfts will need to be 1350 u-jointsand current will be too long for the 60’s. A localdriveline shop may be able to shorten and convert them for you but you need measurements of the axles installed.

17” wheels will clear the brakes,wait till the axles are under rig and then measure for the shafts ,gonna need new emergency brake cables and the J8 master cylinder/booster .The new brakes are huge .all your suspension should bolt right up to the spicer axles

We used TrailReady 17"x 8.5" beadlocks with 5" backspacing. The lug pattern is 8x6.5".
