Big thanks to CRAFTSMAN for sponsoring this video. They offer a full line of some of the best tools around, including the Low Profile Tool Set you saw me using. Head to your local CRAFTSMAN retailer to learn more. #ad #CRAFTSMAN #DoItWithCRAFTSMAN #CRAFTSMANTools #WeBuildPride #NewTool #MechTools #Mechanics #ForTheCar #garagegoals
There has been a lot of discussion about what is the BEST axle upgrade for a Jeep JK, and I think if you are going to use your JK for "Mild Off Roading" then the Semi Float Dana 60 is THE BEST. You get all the strength of a Dana 60 Ring and Pinion, stronger axle shafts, a better housing, and still get to keep your factory brakes and factory wheel bolt pattern.
This axle proves that you don't have to ALWAYS go one tons.

A kingpin Fusion set is the premier axle for trouble free wheeling for decades. I just started the process to get their 60/80 into my diesel JT on 42s. Only Currie does welds of the same caliber but the center section is literally built for an 8T military vehicle and there’s no debating the advantages of kingpins

Good width for TJ axles that isn’t JK width but still leaves room for future upgrades like coilovers or struts. I remember all big axle mfg’s had a 63.5 width. Still relevant today? Wanting to go SpiderTraxs if that helps with “off the shelf” vs custom.

21:00 Hmmm, learned something. I have always placed the carrier shims between the housing and bearing race, where the factory puts them. Noticed the factory always used one shim the correct thickness, and when putting in an aftermarket gear set they give you all these thin shims. Way easier to pound in one, exactly right, thick shim. This always bothered me, now I know how to get around that. thks.
