'01 Excursion 4x4
I don't have the money to put the famous Dana 60 under the front of my truck, so I'm looking at Dana 44 Ford straight axles (Gotta be better than the IFS setup right???). How hard will it be to install this axle in my truck until I can find a Dana 60? I thought I had the rearched springs sold, but shipping was going to be a big fee, so it looks like I'm stuck with them. Rather than let them just go to waste (or the wrecking yard this spring), I want to put them in my truck, but I can't use them with the current IFS setup (drop brackets won't give the correct drop to go from the F250 to the F350 without modification). I have found a couple Dana 44 axles for $100-$200, so that's much more affordable for me compared to $1,200-$1,500 for a D60. Just checking all my options before I make a decision that I might regret.
