Description
Our 99-04 Superduty Dana 60 swap kit puts the low profile truss and high steer kit in one order. Pick the steering kit that matches your setup, then add the drill guide if you need it.
These axles came on leaf springs from the factory. This kit converts yours to run links instead. So you get a solid base for a 3-link or 4-link front end.
What’s in the 99-04 Superduty Dana 60 Swap Kit
Each part is the same one we sell on its own. Here’s what goes in the box.
- 99-04 Super Duty Dana 60 Low Profile Truss. It spans the full width, C to C, for strength and easy link and shock mounting. Because it sits low, you also gain up travel and oil pan clearance. 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.
- 99-04 Superduty Dana 60 Weld-On High Steer Kit, your pick of two. First, you get driver and passenger side parts in 1/4″ HRPO steel. The gusseted design grabs as much of the factory knuckle as it can. A 3/4″ Grade 8 bolt and 1.25″ x .250 wall sleeves tie into the stock steering arm. Plus, every linkage mounts in double shear. The 2″ wide rod end mounts take 3/4″ or 7/8″ rod ends with a 3/4″ bolt.
Pick Your Steering Kit
The steering kit comes in two versions. So you choose by steering style.
- Crossover steering (2 hole). This setup runs a tie rod and a drag link for a traditional steering box.
- Full hydro steering (single hole). This setup runs full hydraulic steering with a single tie rod point.
We set the arms for the most steering angle these axles offer, with proper Ackermann on stock 1480 u-joints. Since the linkage sits high, it also stays out of harm’s way on the trail.
Optional Add-On
- 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.
Fitment
This 99-04 Super Duty Dana 60 swap kit fits 1999-2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty front axles. It also fits 2000-2005 Ford Excursion axles. That means it works on the Dana 60 and the Dana 50, since they share the same knuckles. It does not fit F-450 or F-550 axles. Running a 05-16 axle instead? Then see our 05-16 Super Duty Dana 60 Swap Kit Bundle.
A Universal Dana 60 Swap Kit for Your Build
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. Since the truss runs full width, it makes a clean base for 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. You’ll also cut 2″ of casting off the short side axle tube.
- Steering. You’ll drill the factory knuckle tie rod hole out to 3/4″.
- Fitment. Axles vary slightly from the factory, so expect some grinding and fitting.
This kit is for a link swap, so it won’t work with leaf springs. 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.
