05-16 Super Duty Dana 60 Swap Kit Bundle

Description

Our 05-16 Super Duty Dana 60 swap kit puts the low profile truss and high steer kit in one order. Pick the steering kit that matches your knuckles, then add the drill guide or shock mounts if you need them.

Most swap kits fit one vehicle. We built this one around the axle instead. That means it covers the axle side of the swap. So you set up the frame side to fit your own rig.

What’s in the Super Duty Dana 60 Swap Kit

Each part is the same one we sell on its own. Here’s what goes in the box.

• 05+ Super Duty Dana 60 Low Profile Truss. It spans the full width, C to C, for strength and easy link and shock mounting. The uprights are 3/16″ steel and the top is 1/4″ steel. Plus, keyed and slotted parts make assembly quick. It ships as raw steel, so you can match your rig’s color.
• 05-16 Super Duty Dana 60 Weld-On High Steer Kit, your pick of four. First, you get driver and passenger side parts in 1/4″ HRPO steel. A 1″ Grade 8 bolt and a 1.5″ x .250 wall sleeve tie into the factory tie rod location. Plus, the arms take 2″ wide rod end mounts with a 3/4″ bolt.

Pick Your Steering Kit

The steering kit comes in four versions. So you choose by knuckle year and by steering style.

• 05-10 knuckles. These are solid between the lower ball joint and the unit bearing.
• 11-16 knuckles. These have an open window between the unit bearing and the lower ball joint.
• Crossover steering (2 hole). This setup runs a tie rod and a drag link.
• Full hydro steering (single hole). This setup runs full hydraulic steering.

We set the pivot points to use all the steering angle these axles offer, with proper Ackerman. Measured at the innermost hole, 8″ of steering travel gives 40° of angle. Then 9″ gives 45°, and 10″ gives 50°. It also packages inside a 17″ wheel with 4.5″ of backspacing or less.

Optional Add-Ons

• Superduty Dana 60 8×6.5 Drill Guide. It converts the stock 8x170mm lug pattern to 8×6.5, so your front matches a 1-ton rear axle. Also, it’s laser cut from 1/4″ material with the drill sizes etched right on it. Because it bolts to the stock studs, the new holes land where they should.
• 05+ Super Duty Dana 60 Shock Mount Brackets (Pair). These lower shock mounts install at the factory coil bucket on the axle C. Plus, they’re laser cut and CNC bent from 1/4″ steel. Each one also has a 1/2″ hole for a 1.5″ wide shock or coilover mount. Metric 10.9 bolts and lock washers come with them. They bolt on for setup, and we recommend welding them for durability.

A Universal Dana 60 Swap Kit for Your Build

This kit handles the axle side of a coil-sprung swap. Since the truss runs full width, you get a clean base for 3-link or 4-link brackets. That’s why it pairs so well with our link bracket kits. Every part is Made in the USA, in our own shop.

Install Notes

Plan on welding and fabrication for this swap. So only tackle the welding yourself if you’re an experienced welder.

• Truss. You’ll remove all factory brackets, including the cast-in radius arm mounts. You’ll also cut 2″ of casting off the short side axle tube.
• Steering. You’ll also drill the factory knuckle tie rod hole out to 1″. For a hole that size, a reamer works best.
• Fitment. Axles vary slightly from the factory, so expect some grinding and fitting.
• Steering stops. Factory 1480 joints max out around 40°. So set your steering stops before the joint binds. The larger 1550 joints allow more steering angle.

The steering kits fit 2005-2016 Super Duty Dana 60 knuckles, not F-550 knuckles. Also, they don’t clear most leaf spring setups. Rod ends, link brackets and shocks are also sold separately. The truss can’t ship to a PO box, so please use a street address. Offroad Anonymous is not liable for improper installation.
