1983 f-250 Dana 60 swap
 
https://www.dieselbombers.com/member...side-view.htmlAlright first things first, I have a 83 f-250 with a Dana 44hd TTB and to say the least it has seen better days. The camber is out of whack, the radius arm bushings are shot, and for some reason it even gets worse in reverse. But anyway I found a Dana 60 from a 99 f350 (that's what the seller told me) he had it modified to fit a 99 f-150 so the spring perches were cut and Narrowed. Which is not a big deal I can buy some and re weld them on. My question is what leaf springs do I use? It still has the 2 spring reverse arch springs on it now. If it would help the reverse shackle drop down is an option so I can match the rear end. I have 37" military tires and a 3" body lift and that is all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Joe

you will need to find 86-97 F350 springs.

have fun. your going to need different rims now since that axle has a metric lug pattern.

Oh yeah the axle came with adapters to the 8 on 6.5 so it won't be a problem. Thanks for the help
