I'm doing a Dana 60 swap for a 44. I've got 6" of lift and wanted to keep the front sway bar so I chose not to do the cross-over steering swap and stay with stock parts. I got the skyjacker 2" drop Pitman arm and a dodge Dana 60 arm that I flipped the taper in. After getting it all installed, I ended up about 1/2" off parallel which is pretty dang good.
Before the swap I eyeballed the drag link and in my mind, there was no difference (other than maybe a minor adjustment) between the Dana 44 and Dana 60 setup.
In execution, there does appear to be a difference.
I was hoping to use the Moog adjustment sleeve so it would look stock but it appears I'll have to machine one now. Either there was a location difference between the dodge arm or the parts that were originally on there weren't in fact the ES2026&2027 like I thought they were. It appears the setup is ~1.5-inches too long. Anyone have experience with this swap and know where I went wrong?
