Re: Converting Dana 60 Passenger drop to Driver drop

I agree that changing the transfer is the cheapest and easiest way to go
but flipping it to drivers side isn't so bad you wont need custom axles and cutting the c's off is about the hardest part .

Re: Converting Dana 60 Passenger drop to Driver drop

It's not so simple as Dave said you need to shorten the long side and lengthen the short as the cross pin in the centre is off set hope that helps cheers Greg (outcast offroad)
