Just like our Rear Axle Simple Swap Kits, it’s all about giving you exactly what you need — no extra fluff, no guesswork. There are a few key differences for the front: you’ll need three U-bolts of one size and a fourth that’s a bit wider (4 1\/8\"). The factory cast-in perch has its own bolt pattern, so we include a matching U-bolt plate for that side, and a standard one for the tube side. You’ll also get a single spring perch since only one is needed. For better ride quality and clearance, we throw in our curved shock brackets so you can ride up the C more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re running the wider 3\" Ford springs, no problem — just give us a call and we’ll swap out the perch and plates to match. This is a straightforward, trail-tested solution for anyone doing a front swap in their garage, without the hassle of piecing it together themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: R1142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Ford Dana 60 front axles from 1977 \u0026amp; older trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for DIY swaps — minimal guesswork required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved shock brackets help you ride up the C smoothly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 3\" Ford springs (swap upon request)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 leaf spring plates for 2.5\" springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 spring perch for 3 1\/4\" axle and 2.5\" wide spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 curved shock brackets (1.5\" ID)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 U-bolts: 10\" x 5\/8\" x 3 1\/4\" with hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 U-bolt: 10\" x 5\/8\" x 4 1\/8\" with hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNote\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelding required.
