strongest in stock form?

[Rockwells607]

Im startin a buggy build and its outta parts i have laying around for the most part, have a king pin hp dana 60 front, 42 tsls, ford 460 c6 and np205... prolly go to 35 spline outers when they stockers pop, my real ? is what de's everyone think the strongest rear axle is, i have 2 dana 60 rears but was thinkin of a 14bolt or dana 70? any thoughts

 

[crosseyed cat]

Never ran rear 60 or 70 but had no problem for two years with 14 bolt cut 44 boggers and 572 BBC lettin it

PISS on a 60 rear.....your gonna need two! I bought a Toyota truggy up in Indiana two years ago and took it to the Badlands. Broke a 60 rear withing the first hour. Brought it home and pulled it out and put in a 14 bolt.....then broke everything else. Thats with a Toyota 22R 4 banger.

Put the 60 under it with 35 spline axles and you will be just fine

good choice on the 14 bolt i just got one after learning i could break a 60 on command

 

[Rockwells607]

im lookin for some scales to try and weigh them, I was lookin in the Jegs catalog at Wilwood master cylinders, i didnt know there was so many choices, whats everyone using for bore size with stock Ford Dana 60 calipers? im gonna put rear disks on the 14bolt too using 1/2 ton chevy calipers

1" for the front 7/8 for the rear

60 rear is pretty weak. It's 3/4 ton rear.

14 bolt is stronger and it's enough for most people.

Dana 70 is stronger than 14 bolt but more expensive to build.

14 bolts break also

 

[COPPERHEAD42]

that yours cole?

 

[Cole]

that yours cole?

yes sir

 

[COPPERHEAD42]

that didnt take long :****:

I know nothing is unbreakable, I was just lookin for strongest stock axle, looks like the 14bolt still wins that and there is alot of em around for spare parts, if i have problems down the road i will upgrade the shafts but i gotta spend that money elsewhere on shox, orbital, brakes etc. I just found a set of edelbrock performer rpm's and matching intake and roller rockers/cam for the 460 too! they mite be hard to pass up...cuz who doesnt like more woopow!
