Dana Swap questions

[64physhy]

I'm replacing the 8 1/4 in my '74 Duster with a Dana 60. I have a spring relocation set (the one that moves them in 3/4" on each side) and will be getting a set of SS springs. The perches on the Dana are already moved in for the spring relocation. Are the lower shock mounts the same, or am I going to have to find a new set? Also, I have a set of new U-bolts from an 8 3/4, will they work on the Dana? I have to pick up the Dana from the shipping yard still, just trying to get a head start on the rest of the parts.

If the Dana has a 3" od on the tubes, you U bolts will work fine. If it's 3 1/8 or 3 1/4, they might require some finesse or bending.

The shock plates should work fine.
