Danas with 3.5" axle tubes

[mshred]

Can they be used with stock style shock plates? will i just need bigger/longer u bolts, or will i have problems? looking to put a later model dana in my car with caltracs (flat type shock plate) and as far as i know they are 3.5 inch tubes on them...will it work?

No you will need the plates that correspond with that tube diameter

far as i know that axle is out of a truck, u need a diff with 3" tubes or change everything to accomidate 3.5 tubes...

No, you need different plates if you change the axle tube diameter

I have a 3 1/2 inch axle tube dana 60 in my dart with caltrac's. The plate for the caltrac's are wide enough for the 3 1/2 axle, I just oblonged the holes and got the right ubolt for the axle tubes. If not comfortable with that weld up the holes and redrill holes in the plates

I just picked up a dana 60 and the previous owner just welded new bracket right to the tubes. This isn't a pic of mine but it gives you the idea, mine are mounted sideways with what look to be a 4 link brackets on about a 20º angle
