ARB Locker in FF Dana 60 (2wd)
- Thread starter Jb1rd
- Start date
I recently switched to 35 spline shafts to run a true trac. I got cut-to-fit shafts - on my Dana 60 FF the diameter was not an issue.
Shafts were under $400 for both sides. I had a local shop install. About $400 shafts, $800 true trac, $300 4.10 gears and a few hundred in labor.

I guess I'm in the minority. You can keep your air lockers, e-lockers, and cable actuated bovine lockers. I'll take a dirt simple dang near indestructible Detroit locker every time. Know your gear and how to drive it and street isn't an issue. I ran nothing but mechanicals in all my CJs and never managed to put myself in a ditch.

Dana 60 35 spline w/ OX manual locker
Guys, can you confirm that the Ford E350 does indeed have a 32 spline axle? I have a '99 7.3L E350 EB with a full float 60.
I'm looking to install an OX manual locker and would have to go with a 35. If that is the case, what is the necessary axle length? They come 31-33.5", 34-36.5" and 37-39.5".
Anything else I need to know?
Thanks

A bit off topic, but what lockers are those with the ford 9.75 rear end running. My search online has only found two choices - Detroit, or ARB. Right now the factory posi is working fine, and I may never need a locker. I know that I would like one though. Just wondering what the options are.

You'll need to get close in length and cut the axle shafts to match your stock units. We recently a FF D60 with an OX.
Here is a link to a build where a guy swapped shafts to add a Truetrac. It was my inspiration.

He has part numbers listed... It's exactly what I did.

Since your in Vail here is someone you should consider to do the install. You want someone with a lot of experience to work on a differential.

Joshua has a reputation of being one of the most knowable axle shops in Colorado. I would drive from Vail to have him do the work. I lived in Dillon and had him put a ARB in my Jeep.
