Ford Dana 80 Dually rear questions

NRHX2009 · Mar 28, 2012

I have a Ford Dana 80 rear from an 03 F-350 under my F-250 and i am running single wheels on it. The tires hang way out from the dually wheel adapters. Is there a way to change the hub assembly to a single wheel hub.

As far as i know, Ford Never used a Dana 80 single wheel application like the Dodges do.

Any info would be great. Thanks

You'll have to live with it from what I can remember, get a set of spacers for the front, or change your wheel offset.

I don't believe you can change the hubs to any different configuration on a DRW Dana 80.

Thats what i figured... Only real option would be to get a dodge d80 srw axle

I am running a 2002 D80 rear and a 2008 D60. They almost match up. The D80 is still about 1/2 inch wider on each side. Run with 05+ offset rims and you cant tell a difference.

What u needed was a D80 out of a f350 cab and chassis. They are shorter and tuck rite under there nicely.

Then you'll have to reweld the spring perches & your rear will be 8x6.5 & the front will be 8x170mm.

:whs: Just reweld the spring perches on a C&C axle & rock out, HRT did that on his old red truck AFAIK.

Yep - cab and chassis axle to use under a SRW truck and keep the rear track width as narrow as possible without a ton of work.

Actually you want an F350 cab and chassis axle - all the F550 axles were bigger than Dana 80s and I am not sure on the F450 axles - but I think they were all Dana 80s - you should check on those.

The 450s were all 80's the 550's were the big rears. I believe River City Diesel would machine the hubs so the wheels lined up and you used the stock axles.
