    Default binfordm715 : Stock Dana 70 vs. 14-bolt clearance issues

    Stock Dana 70 vs. 14-bolt clearance issues
    Post by binfordm715 on Aug 28, 2006, 1:22am

    Any idea how tall the diffs are between these two axles? What I'm wondering about is the distance from the spring plate (or top of the leaf spring) to the top of the diff on a 14-bolt.

    The reason I'm wondering is to make sure a 14-bolt would still clear Fisherman's modification to fit an XL in the stock spare tire location.

    The rear axle is already SUA, I can't think of any reason it would be any different than the 70??

    If it is, it's not by much. I'll take some measurements tomorrow, but they will likely be unnecessary: they are very close to the same size. At one point I did actually measure them side by side, but didn't write nothin' down, mang.

    I can't comment on Fisherman's project, but I can tell you that I tried to put a 16" deep fuel tank DIRECTLYT behind the rear cross member with no diff clearance issues on my 14 bolt. Also note my diff cover sits 1/2 to 1" further back than normal (extra beef).

    WITH A 14 BOLT I BELIEVE YOU,LL HAVE DRIVE SHAFT TO FUEL TANK CLEARENCE PROBLEMS AS THE PINION IS SET OVER CLOSER TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE TRUCK.

    Yep, had to pull my stock tank. Pic:

    Note: the shaft is larger than normal, 1410 joints and I think a 3"+ tube.
