Default anyone installed the dana 60 yet?

mine will be here in a couple weeks and i was curious if anything had to be done. i know i will need to trim my t/a mount but apparently it will be moved further forward also? is that true? also did u need to purchase the bmr sway bar brackets to mount the sway bar? i want to put this thing right in not wait 1-2 more weeks after it gets here because i dont have the right parts.

btw - i ordered a ds the proper legnth so thats not an issue.

I just got on here to post the same question.... I am waiting my S60 to arrive and dont want to wait to get it in either. I ordered mine through Speed Inc on the group buy. They are a bunch of good guys there. Should I order a panhard relo and new panhard bar. I heard that I will have clearence issues with the cover of the S60? Oh, it is fun to be some of the first trying this set up from Strange....

Curious about the sway bar fitting also. Mine should be here SOON. Was part of the GP from Speed.

Only clearance issue is with the aluminum TA cover, not the steel.

I'm in the process of putting mine in. The brake lines need to be muscled in to fit, but they do go on. Its also harder to move around due to the weight

The rear has sway bar brackets. If you got the reg. alum. like I have there will be no clearence issues.

Mine was in easy until the backing plates wouldn't clear the rotors, going to work with that some tomorrow night. This thing is awesome.

Yeah, I just had to adjust the preload on them, the little dial on the bottom. A few turns with a set of pliers and they slid right on.
