Thread: Dana 70 Disc brakes 8x6.5"

  1. #1

    Default Dana 70 Disc brakes 8x6.5"

    Well most of the places I looked at were sky high on the kit so with a little reasearch I bought my own stuff.

    Rotors 77 K20 $23EA Autozone
    Loaded Calipers 77K20(even had bolts) $58 Autozone
    Bolt on without spacer brackets $40 Gravel Maker off Pirate 4x4
    I still have to buy hoses but thats just shy of $150 now and hoses were like $15 a piece so less than $200.

    Only thing you have to do is turn the inside of the rotors a touch to clear the axle flange (A grinder works too but could cause a balance/ vib problem with the hubs if its going to be on the road alot). There are supposed to be a type of rotor that will clear the flange but the people who know which one it is aren't saying, and I looked for a couple days and couldn't find that info.

    I plan on putting a emergency brake on my Np205. The Chevy calipers are just two cheap to replace.

    I am guessing this is for a non-stock axle, yes?

    uhhhhhh

    if the rear is 8 on 6.5, I'm gonna get all crazy and suggest that he may be running a newer 60 up front.

    Yep late model front and rear axles. Ford 300 6cyl (built out the ying yang) and stock t-98. Still debating on the np200 or swaping in the np205 its gonna come down to time and how loud the np200 is. I am running 3.73 gears so I am thinking it won't be an issue. Gonna be spring under in the front with 285 75 r16's on some bling bling black procomp wheels. I want to be able to drive on the interstate with this thing and tow my buggy.
