Good Deal?

hey guys,

I just bought a set of axles, spool, gears and a complete dana 60 housing( 1 ton) with a 4.10 sure grip carrier. I am not sure what width the rear end would be( I called mark williams and am still waiting for the specs). I do know that the axles measure 49.5" total length not including the spool. So I think it would measure something along the 55-56" flange to flange the axles are 40 spline and the gears are 4.56 pro gears.I guess my question is how deep into the spool should the axle sit? so that I can get an idea of the width, I am not sure this will fit the satellite without cutting it up.I dont want to spend more money having the housing narrowed and built if I cant use the axles. the dana has 4.10 and a sure grip now so I may just order some other axles and go that route. your input is much appreciated.

Kind of hard to figure if it was a good deal or not, because we don't know what the deal was.

oh sorry, I paid 1800.00 for everything.

Why does it matter whether it's a good deal? You already bought it.

I got a dana 60 out if a 1 ton and what I did was put new tubes on from strange. My dad and I measurred from wheel backing to wheel backing to get what I needed but I still think I cam up around 56 nit sure but would have to check. I put new tubes on due to the truck mounts that were on it and instead of gridding them all off just put new tubes in. I got luck though I got mine out of pick a part on a half off sale and walked away with it. 4.10s and a power lock for $250.

yeah that is a good deal. I put the axles into the spool and it measured 49.5 flange to flange. I think if I mini tub the car and either move the springs into the frame or possibly go to a lader bar set up. thoughts?
