looking to run D60's front and back in my 79, but definitely don't want leafs up front. wondering if anyone here has taken D44 radius arms and mounted them to a 60? definitely the route i'd like to take, just looking to see if anyone out there has done it. also, where can i get the c-bushing 'wedges' (or whatever you prefer to call them)? i know 78-79 D44's were cast iron but from what i understand, some were made of steel and welded to the axle? worst case scenario i'll just have to fab them up myself..

any help or direction is greatly appreciated, looking to stay as far away from putting leafs up front as possible. thanks

Check out Cage Offroad for the parts to run a coil spring set-up on the Dana60.

I am planning to put a dana 60 in the front of my 78. If you go to Jeffs bronco graveyard they sell the wedges that you weld on the axle. They specificy make them for the dana 60s to bolt them right in.Check that out it should make it super simple to put in...
