F-350 DRW Wide Track Front Axle Question (tow boss)

[Powerstroke Man 6.4]

I got a 08 CCSB F-350 tow boss 4.30s 13,000 lbs gvwr etc etc.

Since its a short bed the option (67W) or the wide track was not available.

what makes it a wide track?

could you retrofit the regular drw dana 60 to make it a wide track or is the wide track a wider axle itself?

Thanks in advance.

It's almost 15"s wider.

You're referring to the wide track front axle, right??

Dana super 60.

the Dana super 60 is the same balljoint dana 60 as the 05 up 250 /350/450
thats correct a 2005 F 250 has a Dana super 60 just not a widetrack




the wide track has different knuckles and shafts i believe the housing is the same length it's all in the knuckles that create the better turning and wider stance

you can easily swap a widetrac unit to your shortbed

same axle found under the 450's the dead giveaway is the bumper flare and big ole fender flares but watch the lug patterns
