Hey, found a matching set D60/14b diffs. The only drawback i have is my 37" x 15" trxus are practically new. Are 15" 8 lug wheels widely available? I can only seem to find the "bling" crap in that size after searching?:banghead:

i've had some issues finding them as well. summit was pretty much the only place i could find them. just make sure you get the right amount of backspacing, some of them are real funky.

also i should note... you will have to grind your calipers to fit, and probably the drums, too.

They will fit over the drums just fine. They are actually pretty easy to find. Go to ntwonline.com and they have them. I believe they are made by eaton.

As for them fitting on the 60, thats a whole other issue. I ran some wheels with 4'' backspacing and had to do close to 2 hours of grinding per side.

Just an idea, but you never know what people might have to trade on craigslist. Might be better off trading your tires.

Eaton makes a set of 15" 8 lug wheels. I think National wheel and tire carries them.
