8 3/4 to Dana 60

Why spend the time and effort to peel of .060" from the tubes?

Perches for 3.125 tubes are available from places like Calvert. Weight saving, meh, not going to be significant enough to notice. JMO having worked on this stuff over the years. Same as the Dana weighs more, car should be slower, nope, no change.
In all reality, the reason for turning it is to clean up some pitting. I agree on the weight, not really an effort to lose weight.
