Dana 44

Identify the axle manufacturer, housing model, donor year, front or rear location and axle-tube diameter. Then check your suspension and steering layout against the product page. A vehicle name alone is not enough to identify a swapped axle.

No. These are trusses or bracket kits. Included link mounts, spring mounts, steering-ram mounts and guards vary by product. Axle assemblies shown in installation photos are not included unless a product explicitly says otherwise.

Yes. These are fabrication components. Follow the instructions for the exact kit and use a qualified welder. Some applications require removing factory brackets, trimming the housing or fitting individual plates before welding.

No. Ford Super Duty, 1978–1979 Ford, Chevy and Ultimate Dana 60 housings have different applications. For example, the Super Duty steering-ram truss names 2005–2022 Dana 60 axles and excludes M256. Check the exact housing rather than choosing by the Dana 60 name alone.

The rear truss for custom Fusion4x4 14-bolt assemblies is designed for upgraded 4-inch-diameter axle tubes. Its product description specifically excludes axles pulled from factory vehicles. Choose a truss built for your actual housing and tube size.

Confirm the donor axle and read the installation requirements. The front kit requires a compatible Super Duty Dana 60 and excludes M256. The rear kit specifies a 1996–2006 GM 2500/3500 single-rear-wheel 14-bolt axle, not a van axle. Its pinion guard also needs clearance from the factory fuel tank. Plan brakes, bolt pattern, steering and suspension clearance before ordering.
