The RCV Ultimate Dana 60 CV Axle Set is the strongest and smoothest way to upgrade the factory front axle in your 19851988 Ford F-350. These high-strength constant velocity axles replace the original U-joint shaftseliminating binding, improving steering, and delivering twice the strength of OEM.
Unlike traditional U-joints, which lose strength at full steering lock, RCV CV joints maintain consistent torque transfer at every angle. This results in smoother operation, better traction, and drastically reduced breakage when running oversized tires, deep gearing, lockers, or high-output engines.
Ideal for heavy-duty work trucks, big-block builds, restoration rigs, and off-road rigs alike, RCV axles require very little maintenance.

Tech Insight
The mid-1980s F-350 Dana 60 is a strong axle housing, but like all U-joint style front axles, the OEM shafts become a limiting factor. Under steering angle, U-joints bind, cause vibration, and lose substantial strength.
RCV solves this with:
Constant-velocity joints that maintain strength at full lock
35 spline inner & outer shafts for extreme torque capacity
Stronger steering response under load
Increased durability for lifted, locked, and high-horsepower applications
This upgrade is especially beneficial for trucks running heavy-duty loads, high-articulation suspension, or 40+ tires.
