Axle upgrade question???
So while I wont be doing this anytime soon I am curious. At some point I want to upgrade the axles to 60's can you do one at a time and if so which would/should you do first and whats involved in upgrading other than a lot of $$$$ ? Meaning is it just an axle swap or do I need to replace other parts as well.
thanks
thanks

60's are wider, but I don't know how much wider, since they are "full length"

i'm with dynomax here and, it's the path that we took - dynatrac prorock 60 up front with wheel adapters in the rear to even up the axle width and convert the 5x5 to 5x5.5 bolt pattern.

Cool, Thank you! Just read your thread when you did your upgrade and watched the vid from dynatrac. Very cool stuff and looks like a well built product!

What you need will really be determined by- how you wheel, where you wheel and tire size you want to use. A more reasonable wheeler can get by with smaller parts but the 'I can break a steel ball in a rubber room' guy will need the big stuff. We make parts to cover nearly every type of wheeler with more coming soon.
