Subscribing for when I do my cummins swap.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I would have responded. The dodge axle is a little wider on the perches. I used a port-a-power and spread the leaf springs out, and I had a jack under each side of the diff. I was putting slight pressure on the axle while I was moving the port-a-power. I want to say it was 3/8"-1/2" difference I had to spread the springs to get the axle seated. It sounds bad, but it wasn't at all. On the dodge D60, it has 3 rubber brake lines. I kept it this way and built my brake lines according since my truck had no brake lines on it anyhow.
I will be using minimum of 3/8" for fuel supply and 5/16" for return. I might end up installing an Air Dog 150 on this truck by the time its all said and done. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
