Message: [QUOTE="Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto, post: 916478, member: 8143"] Yeah people have measured them.... I've been over this it seems like a hinder times on here. A srw truck is 71" iirc. And a cab and chassis dana 80 is 71-72" I believe. A standard dually is like 75". The cab and chassis dana 80 once modified to fit correctly with the wider springs for a regular frame truck is a direct drop in. There is no real reason to change brakes from a lower capacity rear end with lower capacity brakes. And on top of that sterling axle parts do not swap with dana 80 parts. And if you get 05-newer dana 80 brake parts they do not fit an 04 or older dana 80. So really there is no good reason to change your brakes at all. Drop the whole 08 sterling out and bolt the whole 02 dana 80 in. An I would shorten the tubes. But before that I would just sell it and use the money to buy the right width axle. By the one you have the tunes shortened and custom axles made you could have just the right width axle. And fwiw the cab and chassis dana 80's usually go for way less than regular dually axles. Like $600 or less. [/QUOTE]
