I like it. Did you do that all your self?
I bet a shop would charge 10k+ to do that front axle swap

Is the front a Dana 60? it did not look like it in the pics

My buddy owns a shop and helped me out alot. I didnt do that picture with the write up. It is really a AAM 9.25 not a dana 60

Also, how you liking it right now?

No I mean how do you adapt is to the factory steering gear?

slinden
06-05-2010, 08:03 PM
Steering is factory gear box with the Pure Performace pitman arm. With a draglink with full heim joints. Hydro assist will be soon

You mind me asking how much you have into it. Also, did you do the free spin kit for the axle to increase mileage?

slinden
06-05-2010, 08:18 PM
7 grand in parts. free spin is also in the works

Is that a brand new axle? Is alignment set like a dodge ram now?

also any CELs because of swap?

Very sexy. Is it just me or do your lights look like they have a flat/matte finish. Or is it just the tint you used? Looks like the bumper has rhino liner on it too.

I have been a dodge tech for over 9 years so be ready to replace balljoints and axle u-joints like they are going out of style.
The good thng about the 9 1/4 is the ball joints and u-joints Are easier to change Than the Dana 60 front

Axle is out of a 2005 Dodge 2500. All ball joints were replaced. The only CELs I have are from my PPE

truck looks alwesome. what sas kit is that ur running. is it the pure porformance kits, and does it have 4wd lights on.

slinden

Its a PP kit with longer control arms. No 4x4 lights. Probably cause I have a manual 4x4 shifter.

longer trailing arms?did you moved the mount farther back on the frame or you had to re center the axle in the wheel well because you made an 8" lift into a 14"?

Looks like the mounts are a little farther back but could just be the pic. Looks like the axle might be a touch past center to so he don't rub on the body.

I'm getting ready to do the same lift on my 2003 GMC 2500. I already bought a 2003 dodge 1-ton axle and am going with the Pure Performance 10 inch kit for the parts. Who did you go with for the front drive-shaft? I'll post some pictures of mine soon when I start it.
