you'll pay nearly as much for stock stuff as you will for alloy. they both use the same u-joints afaik.

yeah, I guess I could go with chromoly stubs, then upgrade the inners later when I have a little more money.
did you go with the package you listed? Does it include U-joints, or only if you upgrade to the CTMs?
no, i got a full set of axles. i think that set includes spicer joints and locking hubs. you can upgrade to ctm's or drive flanges. i dont think you are going to beat that deal for what you want.
yeah, if it does include U-joints that is a pretty decent deal. I wonder what the difference between the different drive flanges offered are?
is the spicer 5-806x the best stock type u-joint available for a D60? What is the cheapest that anyone has found them? I've seen 40 bucks, but can anyone beat that?
Also, has anyone found any decent deals on 35 spline stub axles? 4wd factory has the stock type ones for 64 bucks, and the cheapest chromoly ones I've found was 95 bucks at Sky MFG.
Basically I'm just seeing if I can find the parts seperately for cheaper than what it would cost me to go with the 4wd Factory package once I add the chromoly and drive flange upgrade (and taxes since they are here in texas)
If you can find the money, get some better shafts than the Yukons. That is one of the things that I wish I did differently. The Yukon shafts only turn to 35 degrees - there are planty others out there that guarentee to 42+ degrees. A good turning radius will be your best friend. I might even change mine...

leave it 31 spline if you are gonna be cheap with it. there are plenty of used stubs out there or upgrade when you destroy it...
but it seems like most of the time the stub shaft mushrooms the spindle...Quote:

yes, this is what I'm hoping to avoid. I was kinda hoping I could sell some of my current stuff to help off set the cost of going to 35 spline stuff and drive flanges. Plus even the stock type 35 spline shafts and the new spicer joints would be a decent strength upgrade over what I have nowQuote:

anyone know off hand what size the two studs for the diff side spring pad are on a dodge D60? I want to say they were 9/16 course thread, but I can't remember for sure. Krebs, Kopecki? I want to pick up the correct size studs since the bolts I used to bolt it all together before were to long.
I don't use those. Mine were 5/8 but I think I had tapped them.
dodge and chevy are different if I remember correctly. I think dodge is 9/16 and chevy is 5/8 like kopecki said
