[QUOTE="Diesel_Brad, post: 26492, member: 668"] A parts list for a Dana 60 swap into a F250 One of the following FORD Dana axles, it is your choice. 85.5-91 King Pin Dana 60 91-94 Ball Joint w pin on calipers 95-97 ball Joint w bolt on style calipers Next. A RSK. You can go with a SKY manufacturing or a ORU(off road unlimited). For the SD spring swap I used a SKY one, I would reccomend a I/C version even if not putting a I/C in for bumper mounting reasons. Then you need a set of SD springs. casting numbers on the springs are not a big help. Your best bet is to look at the spring code sticker in the door jam of the truck they came out of. I used "V code" springs part 2C3Z-5310-HA An adjustable track bar is a good investment(especially if using a anti-swaybar) SKY sell this. And i use one instead of the Track bar drop bracket. I have Very little bump steer if any. Shocks. It is up to you on what shocks you run but Bilstein shocks give the best ride. Front 33-185552 / F4-BE5-6248-H5 Rear 33-185569 / F4-BE5-6249-H5 Stainless brake hoses(may be able to reuse your brake hoes but mine were 145k old so i bought new longer ones Additional hardware you will need to buy because The SD springs have different spring eye diameters than the OBS springs (sky gives most of the necessary hardware to mount the RSK. (I suggest all grade 8 and SAE washers) But if you plan on bolting it in(not welding at all) You need to buy (4) 5/8" x 1.5" bolts, 8 flat washers and 4 nylock nuts For the front spring eye you have 2 choices 1. go to for and pay about $25 each for the 18mm nut and bolt 2. go to a hardware store and buy store and buy (2) 3/4"x5.5" bolts with 4 flat washers and 2 nylock nuts(about $18 for it all) For the back of the rear spring(where it attaches to the shackle) You also will need (2) 5/8"x5.5" bolts with 4 flat washers and nylock nuts. As long as you have 2 reusable bolts from the old springs you can reuse those to attach your new shackle to the hanger (the one under the front cab mount). If not you will need (2) 9/16" x 5.5" bolts with 4 flat washers and 2 nylock nuts Next would be track Bar mounting bolts.(SKY kit comes with this but only grade 5) (3) 1/2" x 2" bolts with 6 flat washers and 3 nylock nuts (you may have to trim the end of the far right bolt) it may be close the pan.(I trimmed about 3/8" off mine) I bought 2 new bolts to mount the track bar. Axle side is 1/2" x 3" and truck side is 1/2" x3.5" Also get 4 flats and 4 nylock nuts. If using a anti-swaybar you will need (6) 7/16"x 1.25" Bolts, 12 flats, and 6 nylock nuts to attache the brackets to the frame. You will also need (2) 1/2" x 2" bolts with 4 flats and 2 nylock lock nuts, to attach the endlinks. If you did not get the drivers side axle attaching hardware you will need (2) 1/2"x 1.5" bolts with 4 flats and 2 nylock nuts U-BOLTS. A lot of people reuse u-bolts. They are NOT designed to be reused. You will need (4) 9/16 x8"x3" squares. Jeff's bronco Graveyard has a set for about $35 but you will want to trim about 1.25" off of them. I believe that covers all the hardware, IF not please post up what i missed. Rear 5" blocks. I bought Ready Lift ones, because they have the wing for the bump stop built in like the factory. The only real "specialty" tools i needed to buy was a 3/4" and 5/8" drill bits to enlarge the front spring hanger and eye(3/4) and the spring end of the shackle(5/8) here is a LIST, what I paid and where I got them SKY RSK (CT performance) 300 SKY track bar (CT) 145 CROWN SS brake hoses (CT ) 130 Bilsteins (all 4) (CT) 330 SD "V" code springs (local dealer) 294(pair) U-bolts (JBG) # 33286 39 Skyjacker end links(summit)#SBE-304 63 Moog#K8762 sway bushings (Amazon) 18 Ready Lift 5" block66-2195 (amazon) 159 Grade 8 hardware(local store) 50 -------------------------------------------------------- 1511 + freight on some items Crap.! I forgot one very important thing. The t-case yolk if you have a 1356(80's-95) you will need a yolk from the same vintage f350 to use the F350 front drive shaft. If you have a 4407(96/97) you will need a yolk from the same vintage f350 to us the f350 the front drive shaft THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE [/QUOTE]
