Talking do weld in relocation brackets work for dana 60?

So, I will be getting a dana 60 rear soon, and I was wondering if the weld in or bolt in relocation brackets will work with them? I dont see how they coudln't, it is set up for the same car, so everything has to bolt up the same, right?
My car is stock ride height, but its in storage and its a long ways away from my house. So I cant visually go see if the the axle side is higher than the body side or not. I know that the body side should be slightly higher than the axle side from what I have read...but with old cars (mines a 95) the springs can get weak and change the geomety.
So, is it even worth it to do the relocation brackets, and should I?
Will they work with the strange s60?
Thanks
Cody

S60 bolts right in. there very nice, bad all the clips for the ABS wires, and the brake lines.

Hello,

Both our bolt on and weld in relocation brackets will work on the Strange S60. If you have any questions please ask.

ok, good to know they bolt it. For a street mostly car, is there any gains to be had at stock ride height by adding these relo brackets?

The relocation brackets do work well on stock height cars also. They change the instant center of the vehicle and work as a ant-squat bracket. They help to force the rear wheels downward and the suspension up. We have very good results on stock height cars. The nice thing about the brackets is, they have two settings. They can be lowered 2" or 3" and at any time whether bolted in or welded the control arm can be place back in the stock location.

If I can help anymore please ask. We have both the bolt ins and welds in stock.

Thank you,
Ryan
