🔄 Dana 60 Heavy-Duty Rear Axle
The Dana 60 is the next step up from the Dana 44 — a larger, stronger axle housing for serious towing, off-road, or high-power applications. Its 9.75-inch ring gear and 35-spline axle shafts handle the torque of diesel pickups and military-specification Power Wagons. The Dana 60 has been used in Ford F-350 Super Duty (rear), Ram 3500, and the original Dodge Power Wagon 4WD. Its interchangeability with Dana 60 components from multiple manufacturers makes it the foundation of serious 4WD builds.
