My 2021 JLU build thread

[failsafe306]

Holy crap... $400... I much rather spend a bit more and buy a mini lathe and fabricate my own tone rings... LOL..

BTW... I am looking at other options... I know Spicer makes front Dana 60 52 tooth Tone rings because how else do they make ready to install Dana 60 Axles for the JL ??..

Here... I found this document...

https://spicer.com.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/catalogo-tecnico-performance-2021.pdf

Notice Item # 51 on page 38 ... the tone ring..

Page 39 describes it as:

Google shows the "Dana Spicer 2023673" as a 52 tooth tone ring.. for $72 a piece, and Ebay
has them for $62 and free shipping.

However, these front hub assemblies seem to be completely different from the
2005+ Dana 60 Superduty ... so, yeah.. that idea is a dead end... but I wanted to
post this information anyway so others do not waste time with this alternative.. LOL

Ha yeah I was gonna say D60s don’t have spindle style hubs. I guess one way around it would be to get a Dynatrac or Spyntec hub conversion kit, but those are $$

Yeah, Rock Solid Fab is still the best aftermarket option..

But, I will still try some other stupid alternative... just because... LOL

Was a thought that crossed my mind was to convert to spindle for ease of swap and to go 8x6.5 to match the rear but price and parts availability also were a thought I had, can go to almost any auto store and get a 2012 f350 unit bearing swap it out and done no messing with bearings and preload on the trail or side of the road.

That is one of the big advantages of the junkyard Dana 60 / GM 14 bolt axle builds... the parts are available everywhere since these are massively common axles...
