i know the front is a hp d60 and the rear is i guess a sterling 10.5 would these make a good set for swap into comanche or is there a better way to go
 
i would ditch the sterling 10.25 rear. Im running one its heavy and it hangs down low. i would try and find a disc braked D60 or D70U parts are everywhere and alot cheaper then a sterling 10.25. But the sterling is on strong sob
 
the rear is disc but im not sure what axle it is. the truck is an 04 f250 diesel, i was told it would have a sterling 10.5
 
It should be a 10.5. It's 35 spline from the factory. No need to switch it for a D60 going backwards in strength and the D70 is just as big. You can shave the rear for more clearance.

I've got a couple friends who have done that swap. Very nice axles for the prices they go for.
 
yep its a 10.50 dats what i got under my dakota i regeared it with 10.25 ring and pinion all u need to do is use the 10.25 LOWER PINION bearing and race if if have to use the tone ring for any for your speed sensors just gring off everyother tooth on it to match dodge stuff. as for the fronts its strong stuff 31 spline inners and outters only if it was the radius arm style. if you plan to take thet front diff apart dont pull the big nut. instead remove the four bolts from the back side of the knuckle trust me itll save you tons of money on new seals. ya you cant mix other diffs with these superduty stuff lug nut pattern is metric. and a D70 has a shit ton of clearence and its got a shorter pinion. i have 2004 superduty diffs under my 2002 dodge dakota on coilovers. the only thing that sucks is that the front pumpkin is offset so far out that ur driveshaft will ba cocked out and down
 
I am currently putting them under my 79 Cherokee. Good axles IMO. I lucked up and got a super Dana 60. It has a 10" ring gear. You can tell by the stamp in the chunk. It should say 256. I like that the rear is setup for disc brakes from the factory. I am going to set the front up as it was origionally intended but will make my own radius arms. I say go for it.

And if you get a super 60 it's got 35 spline inner and outer.
