Dana 70 Questions
Can you swap SRW Drums and Shoes onto a DRW Dana 70?
I know the swap would yield an overall difference of 1.3" but just curious if it's possible. We would use the stock DRW Hub to retain the correct bearings. I guess if it would work would the axles have to be shortened? The goal is to change the wheel track by a little over an inch and this would help without having to spend tons of money or time sourcing a 14bolt FF. I appreciate any and all help. I've done hours and hours of research. Any help is greatly appreciated. |
Re: Dana 70 Questions
Axle shafts are the same as the hub is offset in the casting of it. Hub flange mount for the shaft is the same. Been a while since I've done some thing similar, but there was something off with the backing plate and its mounting. I don't remember what I did at the moment as I was working on a 14 bolt, but they use the same hub depending on which 70 you have. I was working with a 70hd

He is working with a 70HD as well, so it sounds like that if it would work I would need to get SRW axles as well. |
Re: Dana 70 Questions
If you are working with a 70hd, there are 2 versions. First is the dually which is about 73''. Then the single wheel which is a little bit of a rarity. Changing hubs does not change axle shaft length.
