Default S60 Ride Height???

I recently ordered a Dana 60(S60) from DTS and was wondering--for those who are running S60s. Was there a noticeable difference on how much higher the rear sat in comparison to the stock 10 bolt???

Not that I could tell. But I installed some 295/55r15's when i did my rear so it filled up the wheel well pretty well. I'm lowered on stranos

Mine was maybe a 1/2" higher. I fixed it by using prothane cobra spring isolators, part number 6-1709BL. Its the same thing as doing the heater hose mod but not as ghetto.

How many isolators do I need to order per side(or spring)?

Yes, it has some gear noise but nowhere near as bad as my 10 bolt. Overall, I am happy.

That's good to hear. I'm close to DTS and am strongly considering a S60 or 12 bolt from them. Everything I've heard about them has been very good. Plus it's awesome they are local to me

Do yourself a favor and eliminate the middle man and order directly from Strange. If for some reason you do have a problem there is no he said she said trying to get it rectified. Strange are good people to deal with. They are right in ILL. by Joliet. Here is how it came.
