05+ Super Duty Dana 60 Swap Kit (For TJ/LJ/XJ/MJ/ZJ)


The 2005 and newer Super Duty Dana 60 axles (commonly found in Ford F-250 and F-350s) are a popular one ton swap for Jeeps: They're tough enough for most any tire you can mount up, have a driverside drop pumpkin/center section, they are high pinion housings, and they come with massive factory disc brakes.

This axle truss swap kit is built from a combination of 3/8" and 1/4" laser cut, CNC formed mild steel.

This kit includes: lower control arm mounts, upper control arm mounts, and left/right spring/shock combo mounts (passenger side/right mount has built in panhard/trackbar mount for use with factory style/aftermarket TJ/XJ panhard bar. Shown but not included is our optional raised adjustable panhard/trackbar mount for use with high steer and other custom steering needs; sold seperately here.


Truss, upper control arm brackets, panhard and coil/shock combo brackets all feature locating tabs that interlock for easy self-jigging/assembly. No measuring required to set the upper control arm mounts properly in relation to each other!

 

Our machined coil correction plates and coil retainer's are included! These prevent spring bowing (usually associated with the coil sitting on a flat surface) and retain the coil even under full extension of your suspension travel. These are weld on so you're free to position them front to back as you please to best suite your configuration. The retainer plate is fastened through the coil correction plate - which comes pre tapped to 1/2"-13 - hardware included!

Wheel spacers or different wheels may be required to maintain turning radius without having tires rub on the lower control arms depending on your tire size/configuration.

Upper control arm mounts are placed a bit higher (due to the geometry of the larger Dana 60 center section vs the stock Dana 30 center section) in relationship to the axle tube. Adjustable upper control arms are highly recommended. This truss will work with most front "Y-link"/radius arms that have the upper control arm affixed to the lower control arm.

Welding should be done by a competent welder/shop. Some grinding may be required for best fit. Instructions for setting caster properly etc is e-mailed at the time of your order.

 

*Axle swaps may require use of wheel adapters or new wheels depending on the desired lug pattern for your vehicle*

*Front Truss+Accessories only; you will need to source an axle housing of your own* Upper control arm bushings will be required as well and we carry them here.

Because of the larger axle center section, the coil spring perches are each moved further out from the center by 1.5 inches. This will result in a slight spring bow. This is typical of any 2005+ SD Axle swap into these Jeeps. The shock mounts are located to match this at 1.5 inches wider then factory Jeep geometry as well.

Cutting and grinding of the Dana 60 axle is required in order to remove the factory brackets -- the factory driverside mounts are cast into the center section. More then a few cut off wheels will be required.

They invited me and my whole crew in for a tour of the facility on our way to Moab. These guys not only produce amazing armor for your Jeep, they are really good people. So, I’ve been running their rear diff skid for 9 months and it has easily held up to everything I’ve thrown at it.

After this go around with Moab and Holy cross, the diff skids did their job and protected my Jeep. My rear aluminum bumper performed phenomenally on the trail!

Can’t say enough about Dan and his ultra skilled team! Dan was able to get us in for a skidplate with UHMW & sliders for our JKUR. The fit, finish and quality are just out of this world! Can you say “stacked dimes”? Absolutely gorgeous welds…

2 years later I'm writing this review. I've beaten the crap out of this thing hitting rocks, winching, draging it down obstacles, and now exposed to the Florida elements. The bumper looks like it did the day they sent it. You will not find a better company to work with that cares about their clients and their products!

Without a doubt, Next Venture Motorsports is my first stop for epic Jeep parts. Their JL aluminum front and rear featherweight bumpers are solidly built, easy enough to install, and crafted to perfection. I can't wait for more products for my 2 door JL!

AWESOME quality and customer service. 2021 Jeep 4xe! Return customer and will return again. Thank You Dan!

I like it because it lets you use factory fog lights if you want. They also have a featherweight aluminum option that doesn't have holes for fogs and is essentially a stubby bumper. I am very pleased with all of their stuff. [JL/JT Adventure Series Bumper]
