I just did the exact same setup, 5.38s in the Dana 60 I think I got from you. It was my first axle setup and it seemed to be okay, but I'm certainly no expert.... All I gotta say is the 14-bolt rear is WAY easier to setup! I have some setup bearings if you want to use them.

Yeah... I guess this will be my trial no error experience... lol. I find irony in this, I can machine gears but I am uncertain if I cn set them up properly... ahahaha

I've been reading up on it... I think I'll just take a long weekend and the laptop go out into the garage and tinker until it's within specs.

No voodoo involved, Rich. Just put it to spec. Move carrier shims around to get backlash in. Add/decrease pinion shims for depth/pattern. More or less. Don't forget about bearing preload so they don't burn up (too tight) or move around (too loose) Love that 14bolt rear! Hasn't flinched in 3 years!! ;D

Awesome, thanks man... I'm glad to hear that the 14 bolt is still kicking.
