Jeep wrangler build 1 ton axle swap,(pt 1) gm 60 14 

They're gm dana 60 and 14 bolt. I already had the jeep set up with a dana 300 transfercase, so it all drives off the passenger side.

@bill2526 bill2526 yes it would. The gm dana 60 drives off the passenger side and so does the dana 300. Perfect combo and easy to package.

@bill2526 bill2526 i think they made those from 1977-1991. The 88-91 were in the 1 ton squarebody trucks only.

Troy Stein yea my steering is great! My steering box is still in the same location with that 1” bracket. I used a short pitman arm, and had my high steer arm drilled to accommodate that. I’m not sure how far I move the axle forward but it’s got to be 4 or 5 inches I bet. My drag link is straight in line with the knuckle and steering box. It all worked out well. And actually turns the 42s just fine. I plan on adding steering assist in the future but I haven’t really needed it honestly. It only binds up when I get really bound up hard. I have no problems with it otherwise for general wheeling it’s great.

@@mrslam49 thank u so much for ur videos & response. Looking to mount my front shackles like yours off rhe front bumoer for a 3.5" wheelbase stretch and 3.5" susp drop with my Chevy 60 & rubicon express 1.5" 6 leaf pack. It's so tall now I can barely get my YJ into the garage. Rear 5.5" Rubicon Express TJ coils 4 link. 😆

Troy Stein , nice! I think I ended up with a 2” yj coil in the rear of mine.

@@mrslam49 where did u buy short pitman arm from? I have a flat waggy stock 1. I'm debating whether to raise shackles straight up into tubular front crossmember or mount to a front bumper and/or frame with boomerang shackles like you. If I do lioe yours will need to buy MORE 1" forwaed move kit & modified pitman arm and prob have to lengthen my steering shaft and driveshaft so more work but get 3.5" wheelbase stretch to 106.5"

Troy Stein , I used a Jeep pitman arm off a TJ wrangler I’m pretty sure. Or maybe it was xj, but it was one of the 2. They are shorties

I sold them the day after I pulled them out! A guy drove from a state away to pick them up.

Ryan Nickell on the front end I did move the driver side perch. I cut the old one off and clocked the new one to match the wedged shims that I used on the driver side for caster angle.

Erocks Garage seems like a pretty easy swap compared to most. I know when I put ford d60’s under my xj I had to weld all new everything

Ryan Nickell yea the leaf spring front was a pretty good match for the yj. I will probably change it to a 3 link in the future but this was cheap and got me on the road for the time being. I can save up and dump some more money into the front end later.

Cory Robinson I moved the steering box forward 1 inch with an off the shelf bracket. It works great. My tie rod is behind the knuckle tho, so that gave me a little more space up front.

Erocks Garage do you know where I can find an off the shelf bracket? Only TMR customs comes up for a $699 kit!

Cory Robinson yea I think one was a M.O.R.E. Off-road brand bracket. Lots of places sell them. If I remember right it was a hundred dollars.

It does now! Had to do some cutting!

The first part of the video they are pitbul rockers, the bigger set at the end is interco irok
