Rear diff ?????

Is it feasable and or practical to put 5 lug axles in a 3/4 ton Dana 60 currently housing 8 lug axles?? I would like to use the Dana 60 but I want 5 lug axles.

Re: Rear diff ?????

If it's a full floating D60, the hub will be too big to fit a 5 lug wheel. A semi floating D60, it could be done.

oh well, guess I'll just rebuild the diff from the 72 1/2 ton, thanks for the input.
