Cody and I shaved the D60 today. Didn't want to turn down the ring gear - ended up with 1" more clearance. The ring gear is about 1/16" from the bottom.

looks awesome

Very Badass, I'm jealous.

[sasquatch]

how is the cover going to seal?

[Jackasic]

is that the new fangled process for those metal impregnated bearings?

[Sharpe]

I want a diff shaving machine too!

probably a way to keep the housing straight

looks good scott, but you should have milled the entire housing away and got a flemco 9

what do ya'll think about this?
http://www.truehi9.com/index.html

I have a bunch of stuff to order:
Ford 9 chunk - 35 spline, detroit, alum. housing, 1480 yoke
8 lug 4340 shafts for the Ford 9 - with bearings
disc brake set-up for the Ford 9.

35 spline 4340 shafts for the front
new knuckles for the front
kingpin rebuild for the front
u-joints for the front or Bobby Long D60 CV joints:

he also has some nice u-joints that might be worth it over the CTM joints.
locking hubs
still need some Chevy outers.

Where should I get all this stuff? I only want to build these axles ONCE. I want to buy the best stuff, install it, and never have to think about them again (except for grease). Any suggestions?

[uglyota]

stick with your roots man, bobby's 60 birfs.
looks like a lot of the comp rig buidups lately are running the truehi9, if that means anything

[Matt Conlee]

sweet only 2300 bucks for 60birfs. Sounds like a deal to me

[davido]

Any suggestions?

Seems like a lot of trouble. Just buy Doug's extra D60/14B combo and do the extreme shave. I've hung my rear a few times, but it hasn't been a problem and I've never even touched that huge lip on it with a grinder. I've thought about it, but I'm lazy about things that already work. I've also never been afraid of breaking the rearend no matter what I do. Dump the clutch, whatever. I've also never had a problem hanging my front.

Seems the breakage rate is allready about zero with 4340 shafts and joints in a d60 front. I think you should sell that whole dodge axle and buy a chevy one. Or sell the shafts from the dodge one to me.

you don't hang out with the same people that I do... It's much more common than you think to break 4340 stuff and "unbreakable" CTM joints.

I hang up on my Toyota diffs and wish that I shaved them - there is no way that I wouldn't spend a few hours to shave a diff if I had it sitting on a bench in front on me...
