Just curious what ya'll think of these 3 REAR axles and what your choice is, and what ya's think is stronger.


I got 2 trucks with FF14 bolt, and one with Dana 60 rear axle.......But I say 14 bolt is stronger!

I believe the FF14 bolt is the strongest light truck axle I even know of one person that took out a 60 and put in a 14 because he kept breaking the 60   ==2cents ==2cents

the newer sterling 10.5's out of the newer super duty fords come w/ disc brakes from the factory. they have a 10.5" ring gear- same as a 14 bolt, but am unsure on shaft diameter.

d60 rear axles are toothpicks we broke both sides on maiden voyage before we even had the truck in a foot of mud with a mild 355.  id take a 12 bolt over a 60 the axles are bigger

carry spares, and upgrade to better axle shafts. id take a 60 over a SF any day of the week
