hey guys im swapping out my 3:55s for a set of 4:10s?
what is the easiest way to remove them?
with 4:10s go right in mine?
im sure the carries will work fine.
any info would help

 

they will swap in with little to no problem but you will need a shim kit and a new crush sleeve to do the job

 

And a good amount of free time

 

most definetly time dave u hit that nail on the head

 

Is your truck 4wd? If I had known you were doing this I would have swapped my 4:10's for your 3:55's

 

thats what im doing with another guy on here, ill see if hes up for the job.
do you know exactly whats invovled? i honestly dont with theis shims and that.
if we swap out the carriers wont we be good to go? let me know exactly what i need

yeah its 4x4!
pm me

 

your going need to swap them inthe front to, and i would pick up a shim kit cuz you might need shim the gears to get pinion to ride right on teh ring gear

 

are you swapping carriers? I'm not 100% sure on the dana 70 but on the Dana 80 the carrier split is 4.10 and up/3.55 and down ( I may have the up downs confused) The 3.55 and 4.10s use the same carrier on the Dana 60.

The Dana 60,70,80 uses shims to set the pinion depth and backlash on the R&P there are NO crushable spacers. The manual calls for a case spreader to get the carrier in and out of the housing. However some people have gotten them in and out with a few prybars and dead blow hammers. Its up to you. If you don't feel like buying one you can usually rent one. They are about 250-300 dollars if you buy one.

 

so your saying we will have to swap carriers too?
i dont see this being a big deal because you would have to take the ring gear off to.

 

You know what'd be easier?

Swap axles.
