You could just weld up the front diff as far as that goes. It dont matter long as you got lock-in hubs and the t-case is in 2wd. A rod or 2 and some electric is way cheaper than all that gobbledy-gook high-price whatchamajiggers. Spend that money on somethin else you want for it. Turns just like a 2wd. Then you go to the local loblolly, lock in the front hubs, put it in 4wd, and punch it maybe youll make it maybe youll break it, right? Build it, bog it, break it, repeat like the one guy says on here - I think he has a Monte Carlo  ;D

On a slightly different note, I couldnt tell ya how many times Ive seen trucks with just 1 front and 1 rear wheel spinnin and them gettin stuck. Gotta have all 4 pullin. Before ya get in the pit, ==lmaoo

yes a 60 goes to a410 then a different carrier from there down   100$ or less   i got 700 shipped into mine
new 60 carrier open both r@ps front and rear 538s  for a  60 /14  rear was think gears and 2 master install kits      andyou shouldnt have  any trouble resaling the 410s if reasonable $$

if your running 411s now buy the thick 538s for the rear weld or spool it unless you run the road alot the front if you cant aford a locker run it open for now,, welded is great for straight runs and price but forget turning if your hubs are locked it dosnt want to turn ,,as far as the carrier in the dana 60 buy a ring gear spacer summit has them save for a locker ,,i didnt have much luck with posi fronts with 40" tires and up the work for awhile but let you down ,,so leave it open or a locker the best answer is a ox locker but ouch pricey
