Default Anyone out there running the new Dana axles?

Looking to see if anyone is running the new Dana Ultimate 60 in the front of their rig? And, are you running hydro assist. If you are please let me know. I need to know the steering travel for that axle to order my ram.

You reuse your stock drag link and tie rod. Steering throw will be the same as stock. Guy on jko measured about 6"

Did you measure the travel? Is there more travel to be gained by grinding the stops (or does it have bolts like the Dynatracs)?

Also, is the track bar bracket shown in the pic (with the ram mount) stock on the Dana axle, or did you guys have to add that? Would you mind taking another picture of the trackbar mounted to the axle? Also, are you running the Dana rear also?

Thanks

That to. Just that one flat piece that kind of hangs a little lower. Guess it's to clear the gears.
