2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear axle interchange

[DragsterRob]

Is it possible to swap the a dana 70 from a 95 out with a 2002 with rear discs. Can the discs go on in place of the drums.

Thanks in advance.

I installed a 2001 80 with disk into my 2000. You need the ubolts and allhardware from the 2002. I had to cut my drive shaft down. Had to make new brake lines. rework hand brake. all and all not to hard. Happy know. Howard

DragsterRob,



You're going to have a little more of a problem then HAnderson did in that the 1995 is a nerrower axle then his 2000. In 2000 Dodge widened the axle, look at the back spacing on the rims. You'll need the rims off of the doner truck otherwise your 1995 wheels will stick out a couple of inches.

I have a 99... what years to look for with minimal changes. More worried about short and longer axles
