I dont but that's a good deal and finding a 60 at a good price is impossible it seems.

I've gotten a few 60's for under 500 but they are an expensive axle, higher demand so people on craigslist are always asking damn near a grand. Too bad you aren't closer to me my buddy has 3 for sale cheap. The 44 isn't a bad axle and is an easy swap so not a bad option. If need be you could always upgrade to chromo's

I think its better for what im doing to be honest like you said its easy swap only bad part about it is getting the extended radius arms that are like 800 and what size coils did you get?

Yupp if you use a newer d60 you need to find a 10.5 rear to match it. 05+ super duty axles make for a simple coil swap but you will need to get some 17" rims with a metric pattern
