Click picture for larger image Click picture for larger image Here's the old 30 spline being compared to the 35 spline. Notice the older inner shafts (bottom) taper down in the middle. We've been told that 1980 and older shafts taper down like this. Parts: 2 Standard Spicer D60 Ujoints: Part # 5-332X **1 Spicer 35 spline inner shaft (short side): Part # 660182-5 **1 Spicer 35 spline inner shaft (long side): Part # 660182-6 2 Spicer 35 spline outer stub shafts: 382871 1 set of Warn hubs: Part # 38786 (pair of hubs) (**=optional) Click picture for larger image Click picture for larger image The 35 spline Warn hubs utilize an allen screw to keep them where you want them. They also have this blocker which can be removed. The blocker ring just makes it more difficult to engage the hubs. Other optional Part #&s: We didn&t use these parts but if you want to buy a single hub or run the full time drive flanges (instead of lockable hubs), we thought it would be good to list..

The Dana 60 is definitely the king of front axles but did you know you can make it stronger by upgrading the stub shafts?

Whenever you install a new crank, rods and pistons, a professional engine shop must balance the entire assembly. This is a critical step with any engine rebuild and should always be performed.

Not long ago, we showed the roller cam and valve train components that went into this big block Chevy "rat" motor. What we didn't show you were the other important parts that are vital to reliability and performance of the engine.

Security is essential to have when traveling or if you happen to park in a bad neighborhood. It doesn't help matters either if your vehicle wears a soft top since there's not much between your valuables and a thief.

Crossover steering has a big affect on steering control. The stock steering setup always had bump steer, poor turning radius and sometimes you couldn't even turn if the drivers side tire was drooped. The crossover eliminates all the problems above. The installation isn't difficult on a Dana 60. Now the K5 handles like a dream both on and off-road. Steering is much sharper. Hairpin turns on the trail can be done in one pass where it usually took a couple tries before crossover. When one of the front wheels is at full droop, you can still steer unlike before. The highways is much more pleasant to drive now without the bump steer. This mod was one of the best ones yets. We did have some problems with the drag link ends binding a little and the drag link hitting the crossmember. We solved this with a Rockstomper 1.5" dropped drag link.
