Dana 60 rear end in H3

[GreatDaneHummer]

What would it take to make a new Rockjock Dana 60 from Currie work in the rear end of the H3? ABS and Traction control still working. Can you use an after market Willwood brakes? I do understand you need to have Tone rings to keep the ABS and everything happy yes? Where or how would you weld in Tone rings? Please educate me in this idea.

In my case I used the factory tone ring and sensor. The ring was press fitted onto the inner shaft. The problem you may have is that the tone ring may be too big to fit inside the axle housing. We had to fabricate a custom section in tube that was large enough to fit the tone ring and the sensor on the outside.

Any chance you have a picture of what this would look like?

Get a full float D60 mount rings on full float hub and mount the sensor. I did that on an Eaton HO72. It will work on any full float axle D60, D70, D80, 14 bolt, sterling 10.25/5

Photobucket is down so I can't post any pics for now.

Photobucket is down so I can't post any pics for now.

I hate Photobucket because 95% of the time when I'm looking at some writeup or "Look at this cool thing I did" that I really want to see on a forum there are no pictures and just the stupid Photobucket "Image no longer exists" or whatever they put up because I don't know why. They seem very adverse to hosting anything longer than they absolutely have to, not sure if the account goes inactive after a period of time because of the account owner not logging in after X number of months or what, but I'm pretty tired of seeing it. And these aren't 10+ year old posts either, too many are within the last few years or so.

I use Imgur because it's easy, the pics stay up until either the account or the image itself is deleted (which is extremely rare and generally has to be done by the account owner unless it violates TOS), and you can view images at a wide range of sizes. It's also nicer to navigate through someone's images.

It looks like the 12" 14 Bolt is a better rear option. They seem to be over the top strong.
